New Features Adaptive Server® Enterprise 12.5.3a

PAM support in 64-bit Adaptive Server on AIX

Adaptive Server version 12.5.3a on AIX 64-bit supports Pluggable Authentication Module based User Authentication (PAMUA). Even though 12.5.3a 64-bit Adaptive Server is released on AIX 5.1, IBM supports PAM on 64-bit applications on AIX 5.2 only. Sybase recommends that you upgrade to AIX 5.2 to use this feature. Please contact your OS support representative to make sure you have the latest patch for PAM available on your IBM host.

64-bit PAM libraries shipped with AIX 5.1 do not have the ability to automatically load 64bit libraries from /usr/lib/security/64. To enable PAMUA in 64-bit ASE 12.5.3a on AIX5.1, you need to supply the full pathname of the PAM module in /etc/pam.conf file. The following example illustrates how to specify the OS module pam_aix on an AIX 5.1 machine.

Adaptive Server authorization required /usr/lib/security/64/pam_aix
