Hello, I'm trying to set up an openldapserver to authenticate from Linux, Solaris and AIX clients. I'm interested in what you have done, but I can't really understand. Does this patch make an AIX authentication on an ldap-server? And how? My collegue told me, that there's absolutely no PAM available for AIX. How should I implement the patched PAM?? cu Jan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mark D. Roth [mailto:roth@feep.net] Gesendet: Sonntag, 15. April 2001 01:05 An: pam-list@redhat.com Betreff: Linux-PAM ported to AIX I've written a patch for Linux-PAM-0.75 which ports the library to AIX 4.3.3. The patch is available from: http://www-dev.cso.uiuc.edu/authsrv/ In addition to simple portability fixes, the patch adds a pam_aix module to simulate the traditional AIX authentication behavior. The idea is that the pam_aix module would be used instead of the pam_unix module under AIX. More information is available at the URL listed above. My main impetus for writing this patch was that I'm already using a PAM module to do TIS authsrv authentication under Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX, and I didn't want to have to write and maintain seperate custom code for each application under AIX. If anyone's interested, the authsrv PAM module (pam_authsrv) is also available at the URL listed above. Ideally, I'd like to see this patch integrated into the next release of Linux-PAM. If this isn't the proper forum to ask about that, I'd appreciate any pointers to the right place. ;) I've done a fair amount of basic testing of this patch, but I'd certainly welcome comments from anyone else who runs it. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems. -- Mark D.
