Dear Mehul, This appears to be a config error w.r.t the PAM config. For more information as to why the authentication was refused, i suggest you view the entries in the /var/log/secure for the messages from pam.
Also, in the broader sense, maybe you should look at using mysql tables for authentication, if ISPConfig supports it, as it will open less holes in the base system. Regards R. K.
