Dear Support,

Does CA PAM allows GNU screen as most of our users requesting if they can use GNU screen in PAM so they can always reattach to the session with all state/context in place. We are on 4.0.1 fyi

Environment

Release : 4.x

Component :

Resolution

Yes, While the linux command "screen" is not a certified feature within CA PAM, it does work fine. Even when the ssh session is broken the background screens are still available to the user when they are reconnected.
