HP-UX Integrated Login
Overview
HP-UX Integrated Login allows system administrators to utilize authentication technologies other than the traditional UNIX scheme (/etc/passwd) to better secure their machines. It also provides flexibility, as system administrators can vary the configurations of machines depending on desired levels of security. As an example, consider a DCE cell. One system in the cell might be configured to grant system access using the traditional UNIX mechanism, and then obtain DCE credentials as an additional technology. Another system might, for greater security, have DCE configured as the login technology, using UNIX login only as a fallback technology.
Use of HP-UX Integrated Login is optional. All integrated utilities retain standard HP-UX behavior until HP-UX Integrated Login is activated. If you wish to use HP-UX Integrated Login, carefully read and follow the instructions in this chapter.
