Scenario : - MYSQL PAM Authentication in SAFESQUID.

PROBLEM : -
(/VAR/AUTH.LOGS)
Nov 20 02:17:47 swg safesquid: pam_unix(safesquid:auth): check pass; user unknown
Nov 20 02:17:47 swg safesquid: pam_unix(safesquid:auth): authentication failure; logname=root uid=999 euid=999 tty= ruser= rhost=

STEPS I HAVE FOLLOWED :

1. CREATED ONE TEST USER IN MYSQL DATABASE SAFESQUID WITH COLUMN LOGIN_NAME AND PASSWORD IN USER TABLE ;

2. MADE CONFIG FILE IN /etc/pam_mysql.conf file

: Screenshot (77).png (70 KiB) Viewed 3260 times

3. Added pam_mysql.so in /etc/pam.d/safesquid file

: Screenshot (81).png (121.85 KiB) Viewed 3243 times

I have also changed the owner of pam_mysql.conf owner ssquid;

Last Step Created Access Restriction Rule on safesquid.cfg

Configure --> Application setup --> Access Restriction

IP address = 192.168.163.164
Pam Authentication = TRUE
username = test (this user is in SAFESQUID Database user table)

Looks like the database on MySQL needs to be given proper permissions.
Did you validate the credemtials for user@localhost?

Recommend use of pamtester for validating PAM related setup.
