<p>Hello Paul,</p>
<p>I have unsuccessfully tried libpam-pkcs11 but it seems to
require a card slot and it didn't work with NSS.</p>
<p>I have succeeded to enable pam_url with SSL on my local web
server to call my CGI-BIN script.</p>
<p>However, I couldn't make it to work with PAM.</p>
<p>However, there seems to be a problem with the default
/etc/pam.d/pluto with libreswan-4.6. It is including
system-auth, but system-auth does not exist in my Debian
server's /etc/pam.d . It seems to be sort of a RedHat thing.</p>
<p>The file is:</p>
<p>% cat /etc/pam.d/pluto<br>
#%PAM-1.0<br>
# Regular System auth<br>
auth include system-auth<br>
#<br>
# Google Authenticator with Regular System auth in combined
prompt mode<br>
# (OTP is added to the password at the password prompt without
separator)<br>
# auth required pam_google_authenticator.so forward_pass<br>
# auth include system-auth use_first_pass<br>
#<br>
# Common<br>
account required pam_nologin.so<br>
auth sufficient pam_pkcs11.so<br>
account include system-auth<br>
password include system-auth<br>
session optional pam_keyinit.so debug force revoke<br>
session include system-auth<br>
session required pam_loginuid.so<br>
</p>
<p>The /etc/pam.d/test for pam_url also calls system-auth:</p>
<p># cat /etc/pam.d/test<br>
#%PAM-1.0<br>
auth required pam_env.so<br>
auth sufficient /lib64/security/pam_url.so debug
config=/etc/pam_url.conf<br>
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet<br>
auth required pam_deny.so<br>
<br>
account include system-auth<br>
password include system-auth<br>
session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke<br>
session required pam_limits.so<br>
</p>
<p>It seems to be made for local users.</p>
<p>I am going to paste a working system-auth from the web, but it
is rather cumbersome :-P</p>
<p>I feel really confused, as I see none of functions in
pam_authenticate return "yes" or "no". Maybe I was wrong to take
it literally.</p>
<p>I have succeeded to make the script be called from pamtester
and to return "200 OK" in case the username is in the permitted
access file, and "400 Bad Request" if it is not.</p>
<p>However, pamtester treats both of these cases as
"Authentication failure":</p>
<p>root@domac:/home/admin/mtodorov/build/pam_url# pamtester -v
test user1 authenticate<br>
pamtester: invoking pam_start(test, user1, ...)<br>
pamtester: performing operation - authenticate<br>
161.53.235.3 - - [22/Jan/2022:09:35:45 +0100] "POST
/cgi-bin/myauth.php HTTP/2.0" 200 134 "-" "pam_url/0.3.3"<br>
pamtester: Authentication failure<br>
root@domac:/home/admin/mtodorov/build/pam_url# pamtester -v test
notexisting authenticate<br>
pamtester: invoking pam_start(test, notexisting, ...)<br>
pamtester: performing operation - authenticate<br>
161.53.235.3 - - [22/Jan/2022:09:35:58 +0100] "POST
/cgi-bin/myauth.php HTTP/2.0" 400 125 "-" "pam_url/0.3.3"<br>
pamtester: Authentication failure<br>
root@domac:/home/admin/mtodorov/build/pam_url#<br>
</p>
<p>I feel like I'm out of options.</p>
<p>pam_url/pam_url.c has this:</p>
<p> if( CURLE_OK != curl_easy_perform(eh) )<br>
goto curl_error;<br>
<br>
// No errors<br>
free(post);<br>
curl_easy_cleanup(eh);<br>
curl_global_cleanup();<br>
return PAM_SUCCESS;<br>
</p>
<p>so the "200 OK" should be sufficient to authorize, but
something spurious seems to be happening.<br>
<br>
I hope I can be given an idea, as I feel I ran out of options.<br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,<br>

153 if (retval != PAM_SUCCESS)<br>
154 break;<br>
155 dbg_pam_step(arg, what);<br>
156<br>
157 /* Two factor authentication - Check

158 * and then check if they are

160 what = "pam_authenticate";<br>
161 retval = pam_authenticate(pamh,
PAM_SILENT); /* is user really user? */<br>
162 if (retval != PAM_SUCCESS)<br>
163 break;<br>
164 dbg_pam_step(arg, what);<br>
165<br>
166 what = "pam_acct_mgmt";<br>
167 retval = pam_acct_mgmt(pamh, 0); /*

168 if (retval != PAM_SUCCESS)<br>

171<br>
172 /* success! */<br>
173 pam_end(pamh, PAM_SUCCESS);<br>
174 return true;<br>
</p>
<p>From this it appears that the username should be on the
PAM side, and not in the ipsec.secret (5) file.<br>
But I don't know which file yet. I think that I am
rather certain that it shouldn't mess with /etc/passwd,
for it doesn't allow spaces in usernames, does it?</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Exactly. You only need to revoke the laptop certificate. The CA certificate is on the laptop too but not the CA certificate’s private key, only the public key.
An additional password adds little security assuming there is already a login password, an automatic screen lock after a few minutes and whole disk encryption with a password.
The libreswan pam option for IKEv2 is only meant for the server to check authorization of the client ID (usually a cert), not authentication. This is so you can temporary lock out a user without (irrevocably) revoking their certificate. This is often used when a customer hasn’t paid their bill for instance, or could be used if a laptop is missing but most likely will be found again.</pre>

<p>1. I agree this opportunity to temporary disable the
login with a certificate would be practical. I have
generated the certificates as proposed on the link: <a

<p>I have imported the cert into Windows 10 certificate

<p>I can't seem to understand how to revoke such a local
certificate. It is not generated by Letsencrypt or
Sectigo, so where does ipsec check for revocation
lists?</p>
<p>However, once it is revoked, the damage is done. I
can't make it alive again, can I? So, there is a
justified question:</p>
<p>2. Can I get a pointer to the username/password file
for the certificates? I don't know if it should be in
/etc/ipsec.d/hostname.secrets, and what is the syntax
considering that the username contains spaces when
expanded by certificate check facility of I think
pluto.</p>
<p>As the username is as it appears in the pluto log,
what is the location and syntax of the password file?
And who would provide password? Windows 10 client or
else?<br>

<p>This would be a great feature to have.<br>
However, the manual ipsec.conf (5) only says this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="level0"><span class="bold">pam-authorize</span>
</p>
<p class="level1">IKEv1 supports PAM authorization via
XAUTH using <span class="emphasis">xauthby=pam</span>.
IKEv2 does not support receiving a plaintext
username and password. Libreswan does not yet
support EAP authentication methods for IKE. The
pam-authorize=yes option performs an authorization
call via PAM, but only includes the remote ID (not
username or password). This allows for backends to
disallow an ID based on non-password situations,
such as "user disabled" or "user over quota". See
also <span class="emphasis">xauthby=pam<br>
</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>It is not clear to me which file should provide
remote ID list with permissions? And the syntax.</p>
<p>My current /etc/pam.d/pluto looks like this:</p>

<p>I would love this feature to work on my VPN server.
Libreswan team is very motivational for experimenting.
As I said before, I felt moved by the all-inclusive
code of conduct for the project :-)<br>
