[webmin-l] Usermin can't login on macOS - takes forever to login

Hi,

I've some login problems with Usermin on macOS, Webmin works fine however.

I've succesfully installed Webmin 1.770 on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) with macports.org perl5.28 and its required modules (Net::SSLEeay & Authen::PAM).
Login works and for administering Postfix with dovecot (again from macports) works great.

However, I installed Usermin but login seems impossible, Firefox or Safari take forever trying to login, when entering username & password.
Checking /usr/usermin/miniserv.errors the PAM Authentication is enabled:

#cat  /usr/usermin/miniserv.errors
[31/Jul/2019:12:04:03 +0200] miniserv.pl started
[31/Jul/2019:12:04:03 +0200] Using MD5 module Digest::MD5
[31/Jul/2019:12:04:03 +0200] Using SHA512 module Crypt::SHA
[31/Jul/2019:12:04:03 +0200] PAM authentication enabled

For PAM-Authentication to work I needed to tweak /etc/pam.d/usermin to:

auth       required       pam_opendirectory.so try_first_pass
account    required       pam_nologin.so
account    required       pam_opendirectory.so
password   required       pam_opendirectory.so

Note: We must use "pam_opendirectory.so" instead of the old "pam_securityserver.so" which is no longer used on recent macOS versions (check the ".so" modules /usr/lib/pam/),
as described here in the outdated pam.d section for Mac OS X: 
http://www.webmin.com/udownload.html

I've tried several other pam.d configs and also tried on Mac OS X 10.9.5 but with no success...

Does somebody know what I'm doing wrong ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
