System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP)

Configuring PAM

If you are using pam_ldap, follow the sample pam.conf file included in Example pam.conf File for pam_ldap and add the lines containing pam_ldap.so.1 to the client's /etc/pam.conf file. Not every line containing pam_ldap.so.1 is needed. Only the section for the command, login and password, for example, which requires pam_ldap, needs to be modified. For details, see pam.conf(4).
