Abstract

How to implement PAM with Connect:Direct UNIX to authenticate external user accounts through OpenLDAP

Body

Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) is a dynamically loaded module that is used to interface with various authentication schemes, such as LDAP user authentication.

If the service initialization parameter is defined in the Connect:Direct initparm.cfg file and if PAM is installed on the UNIX server, then Connect:Direct will use PAM to interface with the configured authentication scheme to authenticate users.

Click the following link to access the IBM White Paper specifying how to implement this feature in a Connect:Direct UNIX environment.
