How to Implement LDAP Authentication Using PAM
The LDAP module of PAM authenticates clients using the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol. The TLS protocol uses encrypted keys and certificates instead of cleartext user names and passwords for authentication.
Follow this process to implement LDAP authentication through PAM:
1. Update the ldap.conf file with the appropriate entries.
2. Update the ingres PAM configuration file with the appropriate entries.
3. Update netutil with the ingvalidpam user names and passwords.
