Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) Setup

From TDiWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Setting up PAM on Red Hat Enterprise 6 is slightly different than that of Solaris.

Instead of /etc/pam.conf, RHEL6 uses multiple configuration files located in "/etc/pam.d/". As a privileged user, you will need create a file called "conwrks" in this directory. Within this file, you will need to add the following entries and save the file: 

#%PAM-1.0
auth       include      system-auth
account    include      system-auth
password   include      system-auth
session    include      system-auth

This will allow the ConsoleWorks server to communicate with the installed PAM module to authenticate user names and passwords for ConsoleWorks users against system user accounts.
