Step 5: Create the SRVPAM EXEC

Create the SRVRPAM EXEC on the PAM Server 191 minidisk. This exec contains the OPENVM RUN command that starts the PAM server module LXPAMD.

There are two required parameters and one options parameter used by LXPAMD:

LXPAMD -f config_file -p port [-d debug_level]

-f config_file

Specifies the configura5tion file to use for startup. This file can be a variable length record CMS file on the 191 minidisk, or it can be a BFS file. The name can be anything you setup.

The suggested value for BFS:

-f pamd.conf

The suggested value for CMS file:

-f  “//PAMD CONF”

-p port

Specifies the startup TCP/IP port that it is running with.

-d debug_level

Specifies the level of debug and tracing messages to generate. The value can be from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.

For example, to start PAM using the CMS file PAMD CONF and port 1091, create a SRVRPAM EXEC with the following lines:

/* SRVRPAM EXEC - Start the PAM Server  */
'GLOBAL LOADLIB SCREERUN SCEEILBO'
'OPENVM MOUNT /../VMBFS:SFS3XA10:ROOT/ /'
'NUCXLOAD LXPAMD'
'OPENVM RUN LXPAMD -f "//PAMD CONF" -p 1091 '   

An OPENVM Mount command for the BFS root is required.

If any BFS files are used by the PAM server, an OPENVM SET DIRECTORY command to see the current directory is required.
