.TH ss5.pam 5 "14 Aug 2003" .SH NAME .HP 16 ss5.pam \- Contains configuration lines for PAM authentication. .SH SYNOPSIS ss5 usually reads the password file, ss5.passwd, in the /etc/ss5 directory. If SS5_PAM_AUTH option is set, ss5 call PAM api to perform Username/Password. .PP .SH DESCRIPTION To enable PAM authentication with the ss5 daemon you must set SS5_PAM_AUTH options in the ss5.conf file. Before PAM authentication works, you have to create ss5 file in the /etc/pam.d directory and configure it (see /usr/share/doc/ss5/ss5.pam sample file). On Solaris, you have to edit /etc/pam.conf file. .PP Like for password file (see ss5.passwd), adding PAM authentication requires 3 steps: .RS 5 .HP 3 1. Create the PAM configuration file with one entry per line. To create an entry for using /etc/passwd like source, add this line to the /etc/pam.d/ss5 file: .RS 8 auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so .RE .HP 3 2. Edit the auth line in the configuration file to require Username/Password authentication. The configuration file may contain auth lines such as: .RS 8 auth - - - .RE .PP .RS 3 To add username and password authentication, change the line to: .RS 5 auth - - u .PP set SS5_PAM_AUTH .RE .RE .PP 3.
