Testing the Configuration File

You can use the test_config tool, which is located in the /etc/pam_CA_eta directory, to verify the configuration file. First, you set up the folder structure as follows:

1. Move the pam_CA_eta folder under /etc.
2. Copy everything under pam_CA_eta-1.1 to /etc/pam_CA_eta.

A sample command line entry follows:

/etc/pam_CA_eta/test_config [config=/path/to/config_file]

An example session follows:

./test_config [config=/path/to/config_file]
# ./test_config
./test_config: succeeded
Trace file is /tmp/test_config-trace.1274

As the command output shows, a trace file was generated which contains all the details of the configuration file parsing.
