To configure PAM authentication parameters, you can use one of the following ways:
•Configure authentication methods via the Control Center: in the Administration → Authentication → PAM authentication section. •The auth-pam.xml configuration file located in the etc folder of the Server. Configuration file example is:
...
<!-- Enable this authorization module -->
<enabled value="no" />
<!-- This authorization module number in the stack -->
<order value="50" />
<!-- PAM service name>" -->
<service name="drwcs" />
<!-- PAM data to be queried: PAM stack must return INT zero/non-zero -->
<admin-flag mandatory="no" name="DrWeb_ESuite_Admin" />
...
