What's New in the Solaris 9 4/04 Operating Environment

Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) Enhancement

This feature is new in the Solaris 9 12/02 release.

The PAM framework was expanded by including a new control flag. The new control flag provides the ability to skip additional stack processing. This skipping is enabled if the current service module is successful and if no failure occurred on the previous mandatory modules.

For more information about this change, see the System Administration Guide: Security Services.
