Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) Kerberos
Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) Kerberos Version B.11.11 is an
authentication service for authenticating users or services across an
open network. HP-UX 11i provides Kerberos authentication through a
Kerberos-Client product which is a part of the HP-UX operating system
core. Kerberos is the primary authentication mechanism for Windows
2000. Windows 2000 integrates Kerberos authentication mechanism
with Active Directory Service to provide enterprise-wide account
management. This necessitates the implementation of the Kerberos
authentication mechanism on HP-UX as a Pluggable Authentication
Module.
Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) [OSF RFC 86] is the standard
mechanism which is easily configurable to support multiple
authentication technologies on HP-UX.
PAM Kerberos provides the PAM mechanism and encryption support.
