How UNAB Authenticates Users

After you install and configure UNAB on the UNIX host, users can log in with their Active Directory user account or their local user account, according to the integration mode you selected to use.

When a user attempts to log into a UNIX host where UNAB is running, the following occurs:

  1. The user is prompted for an Active Directory or local account user name and password.
  2. UNAB authenticates the user credentials with Active Directory, with the login authorization policy or the local host access files and checks for additional information that is taken from the user account.
  3. If the user is authenticated, UNAB grants the user access to the UNIX host. If not, UNAB blocks the user access to the host.
