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 directory.
     If  SS5_PAM_AUTH  option is set, ss5 call PAM api to perform Username/Pass-
     word.

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  configure	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  cre-
	     ate  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 contain
	     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.
