Salt-Api connection

you can try this curl command using pam authentication and see if you can login

Salt-Api using the alcali auth module

If the salt-api works with pam auth, then there's probably an issue with the alcali authentication:

• Is the auth module accessible to salt? (it should be in a sub folder called auth of the file_roots
• Have you run salt-run saltutil.sync_all on the salt-master? it is needed for the salt-master to "see" the auth module.

Log messages of the salt-api and salt-master should tell you if the module is found and auth is successful.
