PAM Kerberos
HP-UX provides Kerberos authentication as part of the Pluggable
Authentication Module (PAM) architecture as specified in RFC 86.0, of
the Open Group. PAM allows multiple authentication technologies to
co-exist on HP-UX. The /etc/pam.conf configuration file determines
the authentication module to be used in a manner transparent to the
applications that use the PAM library.
This product consists of the following:
• PAM Kerberos library - libpam_krb5
• PAM Kerberos Configuration validation tool - pamkrbval. Refer to
“The pamkrbval Tool” on page 48, for more information.
