Type Module Description
HTTP pam_httpd_auth.so.1.0 This module uses the local
password database to authenticate
the user, using a special algorithm
specifically for the Apache web
server. When the user requests a
Voyager page, this module is called
to authenticate the user, which, in
turn, verifies the user name and
password supplied during the
Voyager login against the
information in /etc/master.passwd.
Then the module performs Lawful
Interception Gateway processing
to determine whether the user can
access the indicated Voyager
page.
PERMIT pam_permit.so.1.0 This module does not do any
authentication. It returns a
PAM_SUCCESS when invoked.
RADIUS pam_radius_auth.so.1.0 This module is a client/server
authentication system that
supports remote administrator login
to Voyager and command line
configuration, and selected
management functions.
