ss5.pam(5)		      File Formats Manual		    ss5.pam(5)

NAME

       ss5.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  re-
       quires 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.
