enable pam user auth controls the ability to authenticate users using pluggable authentication modules (PAM).

When enable pam user auth is set to 1, Adaptive Server uses the PAM provider to authenticate each user. If the PAM authentication fails, Adaptive Server searches syslogins to authenticate the user. Use level 1 when you are migrating users from Adaptive Server authentication to PAM authentication.
