I’m not able to run command sudo systemctl start httpd keeps throwing this error Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted. Has anyone ran into this issue? @Inderpreet @kodekloud-support3
Why are you trying to start Apache on storage server, I think you need to start it on app servers instead.
This question was asked 23 days ago. I no longer remember the point of the task.
I will try again next time around.
Task: PAM Authentication for Apache.
@hprasanna @kiran @hasmukhrathod @Inderpreet @vijin.palazhi
as per this url: CentOS 7 : Apache httpd : Basic Auth+PAM : Server World
followed the steps until restarting httpd on app1 server. All went fine until this point.
when I am selecting port to view host1. I get below error message displayed.
what is it I am missing, any hint or place that I should look at, will help me.
Please comment. Thank you!
@Inderpreet I am sorry, unable to understand the below requirement i.e. what action is required from me.
protected directory supposed to be configured at URL /protected, did you try that?
Hi there,
I am a pretty newbie and just was able to do a basic install of the Apache server. I never didnt encounter with a PAM in the real life.
Could someone help me out? Could you share the right solution with me, step by step? I have spent with this task several hours and do not know what to do.
Thanks a lot.
I have already tried that (also googled a lot) but didn’t help. Would be possible to share the right solution, step by step?
@Inderpreet @kodekloud-support3 @Ayman @mmumshad @kiran @andrzej @Krishna Can anyone please guide on task “PAM Authentication For Apache”. unable to understand the requirements in this task.
Followed the steps given in CentOS 6 - Apache httpd - Basic Auth + PAM : Server World and many other docs from google still its not successful.
Really it will be helpful if we get clear cut steps or clues to complete this task.
Thanks in advance for your help.
according to task install PAM configuration
write some config into PAM default config file
generate htpasswd
and check by curl -u user-name http://ip-addr:ip
hope you got it
Thanks for your reply @Tej-Singh-Rana.
“Generate htpasswd” - In the task its mentioned that “We dont want to use htpasswd file for authentication.” Please find the attached screenshot. Here is the confusion 
What is BASIC+PAM Authentication? is this .htaccess and PAM config?
CC: @mmumshad @Inderpreet
actually i replied according to PAM Authentication. Sorry, i don’t know your tasks was Basic Auth + PAM.
Hi @Inderpreet
I completed my task for PAM authentication on all three APP servers , but it is showed it was failed. Can you please help check why it failed.

Seems like you configured it to work on URL http://<website-url>:<apache_port> however in the question is was specifcally asked to run it on http://<website-url>:<apache_port>/protected URL.
Hi @kiran, @Inderpreet , @hprasanna , @Chudo
Since the question asks for Basic + PAM Authentication ,for the Basic Authentication part , do we need to also setup .htaccess file . If so what is the AuthUserFile to use since the question says to not use htpasswd file ?
Hi! No need to setup .htaccess file.
Please go through this link CentOS 7 : Apache httpd : Basic Auth+PAM : Server World
