Andrew,

Informix does support PAM.

The requirements for PAM on Informix is :

1) add entry into the sqlhosts file
2) write a module and register it
3) call the module in ODBC code

Subject
ODBC credentials and/or PAM






Hi folks

I'm wondering what the state of the art is for ODBC credentials and
Informix. We want a user to get access to Informix if they have a valid
Windows login, instead of having to store a password in the registry or
get
prompted.

MS Sequel Server and it's OBDC driver can be configured to use NT
Authentication, so the connection is seamless. It's probably using the
Desktop tokens (NT style or Active Directories style) and passing them off

to the domain controller for verification.

Is there any way to get the Informix ODBC to work the same way?

On a fairly related subject, what's the capabilities and purpose of the
ability to plug PAM into the Informix engines? How can it be used?
