I was just wondering if anyone of you have ever run Linux in this type of configuration (on a p550 with VIO) and have any idea what is happening? I suspect that VIO is initializing the disk, but another person is doing that work and she doesn't know why this is happening. (I really don't

PAM to authenticate using zVM userid/password

2011-02-16 Thread Donald Russell
Before I go off to investigate what it would take to write one... is there already a PAM module for zLinux that will accept a userid/password and authenticate it against the VM host it's running on? For example... I have zLinux (RHEL) running on lpar VMA. I also have a bunch of CMS users on VMA.

Yes, using the LDAP support in z/VM, PAM can authenticate against RACF. See various articles in zJournal and doc in the z/VM library and Redbooks. On 02/16/2011 02:53 PM, Donald Russell wrote: Before I go off to investigate what it would take to write one... is there already a PAM module for

Hi, Donald. Yeah, it's a cool thing to do, alright. Go with the LDAP-RACF approach Alan and others have mentioned already, if you're already running RACF. If you're not, there are other ways to get PAM on zLinux to authenticate against CMS user ids, and passwords. I can send you more information
