KB-0513: NetCool does not autenticate with AD when direct control is installed |
|
Problem:
The local user netcool is converted to AD user, and application NetCool fails to verify the user passwd hash.
Cause:
This is because by default AD does not keep Unix password hash.
Workaround:
PAM enable the NetCool application, so the PAM will handle the user authentication.
Here are the steps to enable NetCool to use PAM for authentication:
start netcool with –authenticate PAM
added these entries at /etc/pam.conf:
netcool auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_aix
netcool account required /usr/lib/security/pam_aix
netcool password required /usr/lib/security/pam_aix
netcool session required /usr/lib/security/pam_aix
