ss5.pam(5)ss5.pam(5)NAMEss5.pam - Contains configuration lines for PAM authentication.
SYNOPSIS
ss5 usually reads the password file, ss5.passwd, in the /etc/ss5 direc‐
tory. If SS5_PAM_AUTH option is set, ss5 call PAM api to perform User‐
name/Password.
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 con‐
figure it (see /usr/share/doc/ss5/ss5.pam sample file). On Solaris, you
have to edit /etc/pam.conf file.
Like for password file (see ss5.passwd), adding PAM authentication
requires 3 steps:
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:
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so
2. Edit the auth line in the configuration file to require User‐
name/Password authentication. The configuration file may con‐
tain auth lines such as:
auth - - -
To add username and password authentication, change the line
to:
auth - - u
set SS5_PAM_AUTH
3. Restart the server.
