SYNOPSIS

9       ss5  usually  reads  the password file, ss5.passwd, in the /etc/opt/ss5
10       directory.

DESCRIPTION

13       To enable Username/Password authentication with the ss5 daemon you must
14       create  a  password  file,  and  modify  the  ss5  configuration  file,
15       ss5.conf.
16
17       In the password file, add one line for each user. Each line should con‐
18       tain the username and password for the user, separated by white space.
19
20       In  the ss5 configuration file, add an auth line to require authentica‐
21       tion and allow the user access. For additional  information  about  the
22       ss5 configuration file, refer to the ss5.conf(5) man page.
23
24       Adding Username/Password authentication to ss5 requires 3 steps:
25
26            1.  Create the password file with one entry per line. To create an
27               entry for the user named matthew, whose password is secret, add
28               this line to the ss5.passwd file:
29                    matthew secret
30
31            2.  Edit  the auth line in the configuration file to require User‐
32               name/Password authentication. The configuration file  may  con‐
33               tain auth lines such as:
34                    auth - - -
35
36               To  add  username  and password authentication, change the line
37               to:
38                    auth - - u
39
40            3. Restart the server.
