Pluggable authentication modules (UNIX™ or Linux™)A Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) is a well-defined framework for supporting different authentication modules that were originally developed by Sun Microsystems. PAM is supported in both 32- and 64-bit modes on Solaris, Linux™, HP-UX and AIX®.

The name of the PAM service

The PAM service name identifies the PAM module.

This PAM module typically is located in the /usr/lib/security directory and its parameters are listed in the /etc/pam.conf file.

In Linux™, the /etc/pam.conf file can be replaced with a directory called /etc/pam.d, where there is a file for each PAM service. If /etc/pam.d exists, /etc/pam.conf is ignored by Linux. See the system documentation for the details of this configuration file.
