PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) for Linux Replicate

[David_Fergen]

To provide authentication on the WebUI for the User Accounts on the server – you can use the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) as configured on Linux.  One will be able to allow it to run on Linux VM and connect to it via username/password for usernames on the system.  It does not assign roles like Windows does. 

The user or group  set during the installation must be granted permission to read the file: /etc/shadow.  

Edit the /opt/attunity/replicate/bin/repctl.cfg file and modify the path to the fully qualified name of the libpam.so.0 library if required. 

Similar to the following: 

    "login_pam_libpam_full_path":"/lib64/libpam.so.0", 

                "login_pam_service_name": "system-auth" 

  Double-check the PAM lib is correct. 

One can then add usernames to the system and they can sign on with the user names instead of the default admin account.
