 Re: Pam for encrypt password >From: Manoj Mohan <manojm@us.ibm.com> >That sounds right.. we need to have a PAM module which will take the >password encrypted with blowfish cipher and authenticate it >and then we should put that in the pam stack in the pam.conf file. > >Manoj But this isn't an Informix issue at all. Informix calls PAM and then depending on the configuration file, PAM will use the specified .so files to authenticate. Depending on the OS, (Linux for example...), you can specify which encryption method you want to use for your password file(s). So if you can specify blowfish then PAM should already support this. What we need from IBM is a PAM module that allows applications (including IDS) to create and maintain an encrypted authentication table within IDS. (Can you say virtual users?) All of the pieces are finally there in IDS 11. It would be best if IBM did this, rather than having someone else do it ... __________________________________________________ _______________ i'm making a difference.*Make every IM count for the cause of your choice.

Hopefully Jonathan is working on some issues that may prevent wider PAM adoption. I'd love to see this in a near future. -- Fernando Nunes Portugal http://informix-technology.blogspot.com My email works... but I don't check it frequently... |

Where and how I can specify encryption method? |
