Here's a couple of clips from pam.txt in the release notes: By default, IBM IDS will use the traditional authentication mechanism in order to avoid wide spread changes required by the users. PAM is supported on Solaris, Linux, both 32 and 64 bit, as applicable. On HP-UX and AIX, PAM is supported in 32 bit mode only.

Hi all, We do not wish to use the age-old, insecure, arcane Unix login authentication method that hits against the /etc/passwd file when logging into our IDS servers. Instead, we would like to use a centralized, networked authentication/account server such as a Kerberos Domain Controller. Specifically, my question is: does anyone know of any support in Informix Dynamic Server for use of either P.A.M. (Pluggable Authentication Module) (Kerberos is one authentication plugin module that works with the PAM framework) or for Kerberos authentication? Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
