#!/usr/bin/perl -t # OpenVPN PAM AUTHENTICATON # This script can be used to add PAM-based authentication # to OpenVPN 2.0. The OpenVPN client must provide # a username/password, using the --auth-user-pass directive. # The OpenVPN server should specify --auth-user-pass-verify # with this script as the argument and the 'via-file' method # specified. The server can also optionally specify # --client-cert-not-required and/or --username-as-common-name. # SCRIPT OPERATION # Return success or failure status based on whether or not a # given username/password authenticates using PAM. # Caller should write username/password as two lines in a file # which is passed to this script as a command line argument. # CAVEATS # * Requires Authen::PAM module, which may also # require the pam-devel package. # * May need to be run as root in order to # access username/password file. # NOTES # * This script is provided mostly as a demonstration of the # --auth-user-pass-verify script capability in OpenVPN. # For real world usage, see the auth-pam module in the plugin # folder. use Authen::PAM; use POSIX; # This "conversation function" will pass # $password to PAM when it asks for it. sub my_conv_func { my @res; while ( @_ ) { my $code = shift; my $msg = shift; my $ans = ""; $ans = $password if $msg =~ /[Pp]assword/; push @res, (PAM_SUCCESS(),$ans); } push @res, PAM_SUCCESS(); return @res; } # Identify service type to PAM $service = "login"; # Get username/password from file if ($ARG = shift @ARGV) { if (!open (UPFILE, "<$ARG")) { print "Could not open username/password file: $ARG\n"; exit 1; } } else { print "No username/password file specified on command line\n"; exit 1; } $username = ; $password = ; if (!$username || !$password) { print "Username/password not found in file: $ARG\n"; exit 1; } chomp $username; chomp $password; close (UPFILE); # Initialize PAM object if (!ref($pamh = new Authen::PAM($service, $username, \&my_conv_func))) { print "Authen::PAM init failed\n"; exit 1; } # Authenticate with PAM $res = $pamh->pam_authenticate; # Return success or failure if ($res == PAM_SUCCESS()) { exit 0; } else { print "Auth '$username' failed, PAM said: ", $pamh->pam_strerror($res), "\n"; exit 1; }
