FW: Additional input (second password) during login

Hi

Since I spot some activity in the forum I try to ask once more... :-)

Happy New Year

Why can't I change the current password (AUTHTOK) using pam_set_item for
the other auth modules to see ? 
Do I need some pam_setcred magic or... ??
Are the other modules getting a pam handle to same pam data or do they
get a handle to a copy of the data ?

I implemented it yesterday, but I have problems storing the first part
of the password for rest of the modules to see. I using the code.


	retval = pam_get_item(pamh, PAM_AUTHTOK, (const void
**)&password);
	if (retval != PAM_SUCCESS)
	{
		_pam_log(LOG_ERR, "Could not retrive user's password");
		return -2;
	}
    password2 = strdup(password);
    password3 = strchr(password2,':');
	if (!password3)
	{
		_pam_log(LOG_ERR, "Could not retrive user's password (no
secureid part found)");
		return -2;
	}

    *password3++ = 0;

	retval = user_lookup(username, password3);

	if retval != 0)
	{
		_pam_log(LOG_ERR, "Could not verify user");
		return -2;
	}

	/* Otherwise, the authentication looked good */

	_pam_log(LOG_NOTICE, "user '%s' granted acces from host %s
(%s)(%s)", username,rhost,password2,password3?password3:"-");
            
      retval = pam_set_item(pamh,PAM_AUTHTOK,password2);
      if (retval != PAM_SUCCESS)
      {
         _pam_log(LOG_ERR, "Could not set password %1",retval);
         return -2;
      }
	return PAM_SUCCESS;

			
Even though the set_item returns OK set password is not set. 
When I read AUTHTOK in the next module its still the original twopart
password...

Any ideas ?

Hi Lucas,

if you think about local authentication (instead of ssh/sshd) you would
use the communication function to provide a second password prompt to
the user and get his response. I did this some time ago for an AFS
authentication module.

That should work. A problem might be a length restriction on the
password in the communication between ssh and sshd. I don't know what a
safe length would be.
