The Ingvalidpam Program
The Ingres ingvalidpam program supports authentication through PAM.
Ingvalidpam is a password validation program that can be used instead of the ingvalidpw program. Like ingvalidpw, ingvalidpam is used only in Linux and UNIX environments. If the DBMS Server runs on Linux or UNIX, the Ingres client can run on any platform and PAM can be used to authenticate.
