Installing IBM MFA PAM modules on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on IBM Z client

The IBM® MFA PAM modules can run on any instance of SUSE Linux® Enterprise Server on IBM Z® on POWER8® and POWER9™ processor-based servers that meet the minimum requirements.

You must install the IBM MFA PAM modules on every instance of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server on IBM Z on which you want to use IBM MFA for authentication.

Note: A Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) is required to install the IBM MFA features.
Change directory (cd) to the images-directory/sles directory and run the following commands as root to install the IBM MFA PAM modules:
rpm -i mfa-pam-2.2.0.0-time-stamp.sles15.s390x.rpm

If you re-run the installation for any reason, the existing /etc/security/azf/pam_azf.conf file from the previous installation is not overwritten. The pam_azf.conf from the rpm package is saved as /etc/security/azf/pam_azf.conf.rpmsave.
