Thanks Lars and Bender,

Bender, what about with my scenario, where the users used smart cards. So, how can i restrict one david login at any of the sunray clients?

With Solaris you can use what we call "SC", which was designed for use with smartcards that work with a PAM module during authentication (such cards/PAM modules are provided by 3rd-party partners). However, there's nothing to stop you from using a standard authentication stack and any type of smartcard with SC. The benefit to you would be that with SC you get an "auth.username" token, just as you do with NSCM, which means a single session within a FOG.

To configure SC, you have to use the "utpolicy" command, with the "-S <cardtype>" option. By default, the "other" PAM stack will be utilized. If you want to provide a different stack, you can do so using the "utsclogin-<cardtype>" service name. For example, if you are using PayFlex cards, you might set "utpolicy -a -z card -S PayFlex -g -m", and then you might provide your own authentication stack (assuming you aren't happy with "other" - most folks will be fine with other) in /etc/pam.conf as utsclogin-PayFlex. If you use more than one card type, you can specify them all to utpolicy (comma-separated), and if you need/want to you can provide PAM stacks for them all (which implies you can have different types of authentication for different types of cards :).

If you have multiple FOGs, and need to restrict to a single session in them all, then AMGH might be helpful. You can partition smartcard tokens (use insert_token, not token) to FOGs so that users get directed to their "home FOG", where they can get a single SC session. If you're using AMGH, you can also preset the username based on the smartcard token, which is convenient during login. Note, however, this doesn't prevent users from running utswitch or utselect, and redirecting themselves to a different FOG for another session. There's no supported way to prevent that. If this is a requirement, we can talk about unsupported ways of achieving it.
