This section provides a list of PAM NTLM features and a description of the User Map File.

PAM NTLM Features

  • PAM NTLM supports authentication and password management.

  • PAM NTLM uses a subset of the Samba smb.conf file as its configuration file. See the PAM NTLM Post-installation Instructions below for further information.

  • PAM NTLM supports username mapping to map a local UNIX user name to a remote NT domain user name to use for authentication. See the PAM NTLM Configuration section for more detailed information.

  • Successful user/password authentications are cached for use by the CIFS client.

  • Login authentication to CIFS Servers using NTLM encrypted passwords.

  • Updating CIFS user passwords on NT 4.0 Primary Domain Controller (PDC) using the HP-UX passwd(1) command.

Refer to Chapter 2 for installation steps.

User Map File

PAM NTLM supports a user map file that maps UNIX user names to NT domain user names before authentication by the CIFS server. PAM NTLM will search the user map file for the UNIX user name. If found, the mapped NT domain user name will be used to authenticate the user on the CIFS server. You must enter the correct password for the mapped NT user in order to be authenticated.

If you configure password(1M) to use PAM NTLM, then the password of the mapped NT domain user will be changed on the NT server.
