CIFS/9000 Client A.01.08 Features and Fixes in Recent Releases Background Information PAM NTLM provides a centralized authentication service for HP-UX and Microsoft Windows NT servers or other UNIX servers running HP CIFS/9000 server. HP CIFS/9000 Client product includes the PAM NTLM that integrates HP-UX login with any CIFS/9000 server or Windows NT domain controller. Consult the user manual Installing and Administering the CIFS/9000 Client for detailed information on PAM-NTLM. NOTE Read the PAM documentation for understanding the use_first_pass and try_first_pass options. The administrator has to be fully aware of the results of using these options in password change. Due to the differences in password policies among different PAM modules, password change may get passwords out of sync for different modules with which these options are used. Notes, Cautions, and Warnings • It is assumed that the administrator is familiar with the general PAM framework. The administrator has to be fully aware of the consequences of modifying the PAM configuration file. • PAM Stacking may cause problems when used with password change and expiry because of the password policy differences between the PAM modules being stacked. The users may get their passwords (for different stacked PAM modules) out of sync if the policies mismatch. Refer to the PAM documentation for details on stacking. 12 Chapter 1
