Testing Authentication into Linux Using IAM

Test authentication on Linux using a user in IAM.

Before you begin: Ensure that configured your Confidential Application and that it only contains the following roles:
  • Me
  • POSIX Viewer
  • Signin
Identity Domain Administrator or User Administrator should not be listed. See Configuring a Confidential Application for additional information.
  1. SSH into your Linux environment where the Linux Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) is installed.
  2. When prompted enter the password for the IAM user:

    For example:

    # ssh userPosix@host.example.com
password:

Last login: Thur Mar 28th 12:14:04 2019 from host.example.com
[userPosix@host ~]$
You should be logged in successfully.
