Changes to PAM
Chapter 8140
NOTE A calling application must be built for the same architecture as the PAM
service module.
PAM Compatibility
If the PAM modules install process edits pam.conf or non-32-bit PA
versions of the module are being provided, then this process needs to be
adapted to the new pam.conf file format. If the install process changes
pam.conf to the old format, then the PAM modules will not be available
to non-32-bit PA applications (that is, 32-bit IPF support will NOT be
available for users of the PAM module in question unless pam.conf
follows the PAM Standard). Also, for PA PAM modules, the install
process must create a symbolic link to the actual PAM module (for
example, the install process for libpam_xyz.1 must create a symbolic
called libpam_xyz.so.1 that points to libpam_xyz.1 in the
/usr/lib/security directory).
