PAM Support fpr Solaris SGD 4.3

Hi,

where can I find more informations howw to integrate PAM Support under Solaris SGD 4.3

I read in the relase notes:

-

Support for PAM for UNIX User Authentication

Secure Global Desktop now supports PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) for UNIX user authentication. The change affects the following login authorities:

* ENS

* UNIX User

* UNIX Group

Secure Global Desktop uses PAM for user authentication, account operations and password operations.

When you install Secure Global Desktop on Linux platforms, Setup automatically creates PAM configuration entries for Secure Global Desktop by copying the current configuration for the passwd program and creating the /etc/pam.d/tarantella file.On Solaris OS platforms, you can add a new entry for Secure Global Desktop (tarantella) in the /etc/pam.conf file if required.

Using PAM gives Secure Global Desktop Administrators more flexibility and control over UNIX user authentication, for example by adding new login tests, account limits, or valid password checks.

But how this should be done, I could not find out....

Regards

Lukas

A quick search gave me the following link:

Basically you do not need to do anything with SGD except for enabeling the Unix User Login authority. The PAM configuration has to be done on the Operating System (Solaris) itself. (This is what I understand about it.)

Hi,

Yes I now that. Pam is allways configured via Operating System. But where can I find some documentation how to configure pam to allow unix authentication against the ssgd.

I do not want to create a unix user for each sgd user (ldap) which is using a AS 400 connection or a classroom object. So I that this could be done via PAM Module for ssgd

Thanks for further advise.
