INSTALLATION =============== This file explains post compilation steps. It assumes that libnss-sqlite is compiled and in system libraries directory (/lib). 1. Create database -------------------- libnss-sqlite use two SQLite databases to provide authentication services. Thus the first thing you have to do is to create these DB. Depending on your sources configuration, you may use one or two DB (--with-passwd-db & --with-shadow-db switches). Default configuration uses 2 databases: /var/db/passwd.sqlite and /var/db/shadow.sqlite, we'll use these here: cd libnss-sqlite sudo mkdir /var/db sudo sqlite3 -init conf/passwd.sql /var/db/passwd.sqlite sudo sqlite3 -init conf/shadow.sql /var/db/shadow.sqlite sudo chmod o-r /var/db/shadow.sqlite That's all, databases are ready. Of course, it's up to you to populate them! Currently, there is no way to customise database fields and tables' names. 2. Configure nsswitch.conf ---------------------------- The second step is to tell glibc that we use this lib. Open /etc/nsswitch.conf and add sqlite at the end of the passwd, groups and shadow lines. You should obtain something like : # ... passwd: compat sqlite group: compat sqlite shadow: compat sqlite # ... 3. Test --------- Insert some records into SQLite db tables, open a new shell (nsswitch.conf is only read when a new application is launched) and try id [user in SQLite DB]. 4. Limitations ---------------- libnss-sqlite only handle users which are in its DB. You can't have an external user linked to a DB stored group. This is because additional groups lookup use username and is quite ugly to implement.
