Though it is quite easy to set up PAM support in ejabberd, PAM itself introduces some security issues:

  • To perform PAM authentication ejabberd uses external C-program called -epam. By default, it is located in /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/lib/ +epam. By default, it is located in /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/bin/ directory. You have to set it root on execution in the case when your PAM module requires root privileges (pam_unix.so for example). Also you have to grant access for ejabberd to this file and remove all other permissions from it. -- cgit v1.2.3
