Issue/Introduction

Login to PAM as 'sumanth' and open a PuTTY session with AD user 'test_ps1' (bridged via Centrify) .  The PuTTY session closes before the login prompt.  The AD user is enabled. 

Then, login to the box using direct PuTTY (no PAM) - the AD user 'test_ps1' can log in.  The sewhoami -a displays the PAM user of the failed session above (sumanth) 

login as: test_ps1

This behavior was noted on Linux as well - whenever PAM fails to log an AD user in using Login Integration, the immediate next session from direct putty - sewhoami -a displays the PAM user of the failed session.

Resolution

the issue is with Solaris and OpenSSH. 

On their Solaris machine: 
# pkgadd -d http://get.opencsw.org/now 
# /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U 
# /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -y -i openssh
