On Solaris and Linux systems,
the esd uses pluggable authentication modules (PAM)
to authenticate users. The PAM service name is cmsynergy.
So the esd can authenticate users, the PAM configuration
must be updated to specify the authentication methods to use for the cmsynergy service,
unless a reasonable default exists.
Note: ESD is only applicable if you are using it for Rational® Change.
The following are sample additions to a Solaris
/etc/pam.conf file:
cmsynergy auth required pam_unix_auth.so.1
cmsynergy account required pam_unix_account.so.1
The following are sample additions to a Linux
/etc/pam.d/cmsynergy file:
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
AIX® has its own configuration
scheme instead of using PAM. AIX authentication
is through its base operating system.
For additional information about configuring PAM, see your system
documentation.
