Nop. I'd like MySQL to authenticate their users through PAM.

I want to put userids and passwds on my LDAP server. It works for our file, print, proxy, Windoze, intranet servers. The only server who doesn't use it is MySQL.. BUT, MySQL uses Radius and we should be able to authenticate Radius through PAM.

Thanx,

Hi,

We're trying to "unify" the authentication system in our Linux.

PAM is the obvious solution and we thought LDAP will do well in storing users attributes (including userids and passwds)

The only annoyance is that MySQL doesn't support PAM but Radius instead... why Radius? Is there any other authentication choice?

TIA,
