Connecting to an Oracle Enterprise linux agent using PAM

Hi,
we are trying to connect to an agent on a oracle (Red Hat like) linux agent (the server is registered set up on windows the agent is in evaluation mode).

They seems not to talk each other: the telnet to agent machine and viceversa on port 1096 is succesful but the connection not.

I installed Perl-Authen-PAM and put the jscheduler in the pam.d dir but I see that the file refer to pw_db.so which is not present.

How to have it working?

Thanks

By default the authentication method is set to FTP not to PAM. For FTP to work you need to have ftpd daemon running. Otherwise, in preferences.xml file in 24x7 installation directory change the authentication method value from FTP to PAM and restart the agent.

PS. When FTP method is chosen, the agent internally talks to ftpd daemon to authenticate users. This method is set as default because it works well on most systems.

Hi,
we would prefer to use PAM.

I made the changes in tool options and set security to PAM. Also I enabled distributed mode.

The point is that the pwdb library referenced from the file in ./pam (jscheduler containing pam directives is not present in the /lib/security dir).

How could we have that working?

Thanks

Hi,
can I substitute the pam_pwdb.so with pam_unix.so ?

Also I have no evidence that the agent machine receives any request.
It seems not.

The post doesn't contain infos for my issue.

How could I fix?

Thanks

Yes, I think you can substitute it. I referred you to that post because I thought it was a similar issue.

Anyway, until the authentication mechanism is working you won't see any traces in the logs that a connection has been established successfully or failed.
