Issue/Introduction

The selang connection from the Infrastructure servers PAMSC or IM connectors fails

Inside selang
PAMSC> host <server> uid(x) password(x)

ERROR: Login procedure failed
ERROR: Password on target does not match client's password

Environment

PAMSC 14.1 on linux

Resolution

In seos.ini there is the setting auth_login

auth_login = pam, This is for the case that the user is defined in the native system or ldap/ac server. 
auth_login = native, The user is defined the native system. The user should exist in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.
auth_login = AC, The user is defined in the seosdb. 
 
We just need to manipulate it and make sure the password is updated accordingly in the target server.

Login the server <server> as the user, if the user can log in, then auth_login = pam or auth_login = native should work.
