Notes on installing pam_krb5. Special thanks to Nalin at Redhat. This updated Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for Kerberos on Linux enables better error messages at login, related to using 2-factor Authentication (HOTP) when using TripleSec as the Realm Controller for Linux.

Module name = "pam_krb5"

Building the module requires the following packages:

  • gcc
  • pam-devel
  • libtool
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
make install

The module is installed into $(libdir)/security by default – unless you override it at configure-time, that's almost certain to not be /lib/security, which is where libpam and the configuration files are pointing by default.

  • Run 'rpmbuild -tb' against the tarball to use the .spec file it contains to generate a binary RPM package.
