This project allows pam to authenticate users against anything. We have a sql database of users with hashed passwords that we want to use for an sftp server. pam-anyauth combined with pam configurations allow the sftp server to permit/deny based on current credentials in the database. There is room to add more types of authentication and improve the overall process.

Features

  • uses pam_exec
  • odbc support using isql (more to come)
  • enables pam authentication against arbitrary odbc database calls
