Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) Kerberos
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) Kerberos version 11i is a 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 base
operating system. Kerberos, the primary authentication mechanism for Windows 2000,
is integrated 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 Module (PAM) [OSF RFC 86.0] is the standard framework,
and is easily configurable to support multiple authentication technologies on HP-UX.
PAM Kerberos provides the PAM mechanism using Kerberos.
The PAM service module was implemented as a shared library, libpam_krb5.1. This
library is built by linking with libkrb5.sl, and is therefore not dependent on the
libsys.sl library.
