Impact
HP-UX PAM Kerberos is implemented under the PAM framework, which allows the new
authentication service module to be plugged in and made available without modifying
the application or rebooting the system.
PAM Kerberos works on HP servers and workstations with a minimum of 32MB of
memory and sufficient swap space (a minimum of 50MB is recommended).
NOTE PAM Kerberos is not thread safe.
Coexistence Issues
PAM Kerberos (libpam_krb5.1) and PAM DCE (libpam_dce.1) plug-in modules can not
be stacked together in the pam.conf file because of different principal styles and
credential file paths. If so stacked, the results will be unpredictable.
If the password has expired on a Microsoft Windows 2000 KDC, you will not be asked for
a new password and will not be allowed to log in. When changing passwords on a MIT
KDC with a version prior to 1.1, up to 45 seconds may elapse before the password is
actually changed due to the selection mechanism of the change password protocol.
