Hi there,
We have a client that has recently updated their AIX from 5.2 to 5.2 ML 9
This client had set their /etc/security/user file to run a secondary program when users login
This was entered in the /etc/security/user file as:
auth1 = SYSTEM,anyprogram
the "anyprogram" is the name of the program that runs which is defined in /usr/lib/security/methods.cfg
anyprogram:
/usr/proc/anyprogram
OK, well this process was working fine until they upgraded to ML 09 and NOW if the settings are left as described above the user receives the following error when logging in:
3004-007 You entered an invalid login name or password.
however if the auth1 line is changed to not run the additional program as follows:
auth1 = SYSTEM
then the user can login fine, no problems at all.
OK, the question is, the client needs to run this or similar programs as part of their authentication procedure, so WHY is this no longer working since the upgrade.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what we might try ??
