Supported Operating Systems and Architectures

JPam will create builds for the following:

• Linux x86
• Linux x86_64, including AMD64
• Mac OS X
• Solaris sparc
• HP-UX

  PAM is used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems. JPam should be readily portable to other *nixes.

Step-by-step Installation Instructions

The steps are:

1. Place the jpam-X.X.jar into your classpath.
2. Ensure that any libraries required to satisfy dependencies are also in the classpath.
3. As an optional step, configure an appropriate logging level.
4. Copy the native library to the Java Native Libary Path. See the table below.
   OS and Architecture Native Library File Java Native Library Path
   Linux AMD64 server libjpam.so $JAVA_HOME/lib/amd64/server
   Linux i386 client libjpam.so $JAVA_HOME/lib/i386/client
   Linux i386 server libjpam.so $JAVA_HOME/lib/i386/server
   Linux x86 client libjpam.so $JAVA_HOME/lib/i386/client
   Linux x86 server libjpam.so $JAVA_HOME/lib/i386/server
   Mac OS X PPC libjpam.jnilib ~/Library/Java/Extensions
   Solaris sparc libjpam.so $JAVA_HOME/lib/sparc/client
   Solaris sparc libjpam.so $JAVA_HOME/lib/sparc/server
   Native Library Installation Location

   Alternately, JPam will search for the native library in the same directory as the JPam jar is located.

5. If using the JAAS API, copy .java.login.config to your home directory.
6. Configure a PAM module for use by JPam.
