Install the UNIX PAM Feature

Perform the following procedure to install UNIX PAM.

To install the UNIX PAM feature

Select the package file that corresponds to your UNIX platform:

UNIX Operating System	Package File Name
HP-UX v11 PA-RISC	pam_CA_eta-1.1.HPUX.tar.Z
HP-UX Itanium2	pam_CA_eta1.1HPUX-IA64.tar.Z
AIX v5.3 Power	pam_CA_eta-1.1.AIX.tar.Z
Solaris Sparc	pam_CA_eta-1.1.Solaris.tar.Z
Solaris Intel	pam_CA_eta-1.1.SolarisIntel.tar.Z
Linux x86	pam_CA_eta-1.1.Linux.tar.gz
Linux s390	pam_CA_eta-1.1.LinuxS390.tar.gz

Transfer the chosen package file to a temporary folder (/tmp) on the UNIX server using FTP in binary mode, or any other file transfer tool that supports binary files. A sample transfer session might appear as follows:

W:\Pam>ftp user01
Connected to user01.company.com.
220 user01 FTP server (Version 1.2.3.4) ready.
User (user01.company.com:(none)): root

ftp> put pam_CA_eta-1.1.HPUX.tar.Z
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for pam_CA_eta-1.1.HPUX.tar.Z.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 117562 bytes sent in 0,09Seconds 1306,24Kbytes/sec.
ftp> quit

Logon as the root user on the UNIX server and extract the package file:

# cd /tmp
# zcat pam_CA_eta-1.1.<platform>.tar.Z | tar -xf -

On Linux, use the command:

# tar -xzf pam_CA_eta-1.1.<platform-hardware>.tar.gz

Copy the configuration and TLS files to the default configuration folder:
```
# cd pam_CA_eta-1.1
# mv pam_CA_eta /etc
```
Copy the pam_CA_eta module to the Security libraries folder:
On AIX, use the command:
```
# cp -p pam_CA_eta.o /usr/lib/security/
```
On HP-UX, use the command:
```
# cp -p libpam_CA_eta.1 /usr/lib/security/
```
On HP-UX Itanium2, use the command:
```
# cp -p libpam_CA_eta.1 /usr/lib/security/hpux32
```
On Linux i386 or s390, use the command:
```
# cp -p pam_CA_eta.so /lib/security/
```
On Solaris Sparc or Intel, use the command:
```
# cp -p pam_CA_eta.so /usr/lib/security/
```

(Optional) Copy the Testing programs:

# cp -p test_* /etc/pam_CA_eta
# cp -p pam_test* (/usr)/lib/security/
