[SOLVED] Remotes and PAM realms.

Hi there.

I'm try it the remote feature, but I have noticed that we can no create a user using PAM realms, either in the WEB GUI or using proxmox-backup-manager user create, via cli. So in order to use a remote in pbs02 to sync jobs from pbs01, was needed to create the user as pbs realm, and then, edit with nano the file /etc/proxmox-backup/user.cfg and changed it from sync@pbs to sync@pam. Just after doing this, I can listing the remote datastore. Otherwise I get a permission error.
Of course needed to add the sync@pam user as a admin into access control.

I hope this can fix in the next release.

Cheers.

EDIT: After I send this message, I have noted that through the CLI you can create using user@pam. Of course because it is PAM it has to exist in the system first.
But on the Web it's not possible. Wheb try to use user@pam, it turns to user@pam@pbs.

i do not understand. why do you need a @pam user? everything should work the same with the 'pbs' realm as well (permissions/sync/etc) can you post the exact errors you got?
