ss5.pam(5)               DragonFly 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/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
       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
               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
               Username/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.
