ESD authentication through PAM

On computers that run on Solaris and Linux operating systems, the engine startup daemon (ESD) uses PAM to authenticate users. The PAM service name is "cmsynergy". To allow the ESD to authenticate users, the PAM configuration must be updated to specify the authentication methods to use for the "cmsynergy." service unless a reasonable default exists.

example additions to Solaris /etc/pam.conf file:
cmsynergy auth required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1
cmsynergy account required /usr/lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so.1
 
example /etc/pam.d/cmsynergy file for Linux:
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

For additional information about how to configure PAM, refer to your system documentation.
