Larry McCay commented on RANGER-842:
------------------------------------
I am interested in this capability and have an outstanding patch for Knox to
add the same. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-537
This would make PAM based authn available to Ranger through KnoxSSO as well.
I am curious as to what things if any should be aligned between our two
integrations.
For instance, what things are available to configure in each, etc.
I would also certainly welcome any help testing PAM for Knox as well!

> Ranger currently uses shadow based authentication if configured for unix
> authentication. This way of authenticating is somewhat outdated as any recent
> Linux system (and many of the BSDs) have PAM available. PAM allows multiple
> authentication sources and also does authorization.
> Ranger should be able to use PAM for authentication
