Need help with getting pam-pgsql working

[kbdavis07]

Hi,

I had been looking every where for documentation on how to set up pam-pgsql, but so far no luck.

Main goal is to save SFTP users in a database instead of on the server itself in a flat file.

Need to know is there any documentation I can be pointed to guide me on this process?

Or if someone can please post here what exactly I need to do to get Atmoz SFTP to use a database hoping to use Postgress to store user info in and use for Auth.

Thanks in Advance,

Brian Davis

Hello,
I am not a maintainer of this repo, but I think you would have to configure the systems pam service to use pam-pgsql.
By using pam-pgsql, you would miss features like homedir creation at startup.

It may be easier to fork this repo to create your own docker image with pam-pgsql.

Yes, I am working off a custom docker file, just having a hard time getting pam-pgsql to work.

Really just looking for documentation in general on how to use pam-pgsql with a SFTP server, I left similar comment in the Pam-pgsql repo still no reply there.

pam-pgsql/pam-pgsql#21

Or if can have an example of pam-pgsql working for an SFTP server just like to see how that is done.

I a Windows person so working with Linux in general for me is all pretty new.

You will have better luck asking your question on a dedicated forum. Github issues are dedicated to bug or improvement declarations so no pgsql expert will come by...
You should close this issue and search or ask about psql on dba stackexchange or unix stackexchange
