NAME

6       ss5.pam - Contains configuration lines for PAM authentication.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ss5 usually reads the password file, ss5.passwd, in the /etc/ss5 direc‐
10       tory. If SS5_PAM_AUTH option is set, ss5 call PAM api to perform  User‐
11       name/Password.

DESCRIPTION

14       To  enable  PAM  authentication  with  the  ss5  daemon  you  must  set
15       SS5_PAM_AUTH options in the ss5.conf file.  Before  PAM  authentication
16       works, you have to create ss5 file in the /etc/pam.d directory and con‐
17       figure it (see /usr/share/doc/ss5/ss5.pam sample file). On Solaris, you
18       have to edit /etc/pam.conf file.
19
20       Like  for  password  file  (see  ss5.passwd), adding PAM authentication
21       requires 3 steps:
22
23            1. Create the PAM configuration file with one entry per  line.  To
24               create  an  entry  for  using /etc/passwd like source, add this
25               line to the /etc/pam.d/ss5 file:
26                    auth        required    /lib/security/pam_unix.so
27
28            2. Edit the auth line in the configuration file to  require  User‐
29               name/Password  authentication.  The configuration file may con‐
30               tain auth lines such as:
31                    auth - - -
32
33               To add username and password authentication,  change  the  line
34               to:
35                    auth - - u
36
37                    set SS5_PAM_AUTH
38
39            3. Restart the server.
