The /etc/pam.conf file is the configuration file for PAM. The /etc/pam.conf file contains a

list of services and each service is mapped to a corresponding service module. When a service

is requested, its associated module is invoked. WBEM Services will default to the

authentication mechanism specified in the OTHER directive of the /etc/pam.conf file. To

use other authentication methods, you must edit the /etc/pam.conf file and add a "wbem"

service entry. See example below. Refer to the pam(3) and pam.conf(4) man pages for more

information.
