In the Authentication section, select
whether to use shadow passwords and MD5 encryption for user
passwords. These options are highly recommended and chosen by
default.
The Authentication Configuration options
allow you to configure the following methods of authentication:
-
NIS
-
LDAP
-
Kerberos 5
-

These methods are not enabled by default. To enable one or more
of these methods, click the appropriate tab, click the checkbox
next to Enable, and enter the appropriate
information for the authentication method. Refer to Chapter 27 Authentication
Configuration for more information about the options.
