Compatibility issues with authentication modules

Only specific HCL OneDB™ products support authentication modules. To use the other products when an authentication module is enabled on HCL® OneDB, you can connect to a DBSERVERALIASES.

Not all HCL OneDB products and tools support PAM or LDAP authentication:

The DB-Access, dbexport, dbimport, dbload, and dbschema utilities support PAM. If they receive a challenge, they pass the challenge to the user and wait for a response. This process is repeated for each challenge that the PAM module raises.
The onmode, onstat, and oncheck server administration utilities do not use PAM. However, because these utilities operate on all HCL OneDB ports, the utilities can function with a PAM-enabled port.
Other server utilities do not support PAM.

If you are using any tools that do not support PAM or LDAP authentication modules, then make connections to a DBSERVERALIASES that does not have the PAM parameters in the sqlhosts file.
