Issue/Introduction
I have a list of users on a Linux system (/etc/passwd). How can I set this up, so they can authenticate while logging into APM?
Environment
Release : 10.7.0
Component : APM TEAM CENTER/ACC
Resolution
This is a customization effort.
You could configure the PAM modules and write a module that acts as a SASL backend to Introscope. But this not
worth the effort. Remember that UNIX systems have only "group" type and 3 Universes - namely owner, group and world :}
Or just enable Shibboleth for SAML and an open LDAP server
Possible but not recommended:
You might be able to setup a job to sync accounts with users.xml, but hashing the passwords will be an issue.
