Hi, I'm having issues getting the pam plugin to work with Rocky Linux 8 (RHEL 8) with AppStream MariaDB 10.5.  I've installed mariadb appstream for 10.5 and mariadb-pam packages.

Added the following to /etc/my.cnf.d:

[mariadb]
plugin_load_add = auth_pam

My sssd is joined to Active Directory.  I've created /etc/pam.d/mariadb trying both local pam_unix and pam_sss configurations:

# /etc/pam.d/mariadb for local accountsaccount required pam_unix.so audit

# /etc/pam.d/mariadb for sssd active directory accountsaccount required pam_sss.so

Tried creating local accounts with:

#CREATE USER 'user'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING 'mariadb';

#GRANT SELECT ON db.* TO 'user'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA pam;
#GRANT SELECT ON db.* TO 'user2'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA pam;

I've also tried creating AD accounts:

#CREATE USER 'aduser'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA pam USING 'mariadb';#GRANT SELECT ON db.* TO 'aduser@college.edu'@'%' IDENTIFIED VIA pam;

I see Redhat has issues with MariaDB 10.3 working with pam plugin but it sounded like 10.5 should work?

I feel like I'm missing something in my /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file or some pam configuration steps.

I'm using authselect with sssd:

authselect select custom/user-profile with-mkhomedir with-sudo with-pamaccess

All attempts to `mysql -u user -p` fail.
