---+ Login Manager PAM Capable

_The Appx Login Manager can now use PAM to validate user ids/passwords._

<em><br /></em>
---++ Overview:

<div id="_mcePaste">The Appx Login Manager can now use PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) to validate user ids/passwords. PAM is supported primarly on Linux based systems, but may also work for other Operating Systems if they support PAM.</div>

To configure the Appx Login Manager to use PAM, you must set the following parameters in the service .ini file:
<pre><p>AuthenticationMethod = PAM</p><p>PAMService = appxpam <span style="white-space: pre;">         </span># name of service in /etc/pam.d</p>
</pre>

PAMService points to a PAM Policy file (in the /etc/pam.d directory on Linux systems). This can be an existing policy file, or you can create a new one for Appx logins. This is case sensitive if the O/S file names are case sensitive. See the attached AppxPam.ini and appxpam for examples. 

You should be able to use most authentication plugins supported by PAM.

Consult your O/S documentation on configuring PAM for your O/S.
