ESD authentication through PAM

On computers that run on Solaris and Linux operating systems, the engine startup daemon (ESD) uses PAM (pluggable authentication modules) to authenticate users. The PAM service name is cmsynergy. Unless a reasonable default exists, update the PAM configuration to specify the authentication methods for the cmsynergy service.

ESD is applicable only if you are using it for Rational® Change.

Example of /etc/pam.conf settings:

cmsynergy auth    requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1
cmsynergy auth    required  pam_dhkeys.so.1
cmsynergy auth    required  pam_unix_cred.so.1
cmsynergy auth    required  pam_unix_auth.so.1
cmsynergy account required  pam_unix_account.so.1

Example additions to 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

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