Hello @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA !

I´ve successfully tested your guide https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/google-authenticator-libpam-is-now-available-on-aix-toolbox  (can you please check why in some lines the first characters are not displayed?) but experienced a side effect:

After changing from STD_AUTH to PAM_AUTH in /etc/security/login.cfg "sudo" from AIX Toolbox  breaks (user is in /etc/sudoers.d/.. allowed to use cat as root):

]# sudo cat /etc/security/passwd
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

After adding this to /etc/pam.conf it would work again, could you please have a look at this?

]# grep sudo /etc/pam.conf
sudo    auth    required        pam_aix
sudo    account required        pam_aix

Thanks,

With kind regards,

Hello!

This Thread was started because I wanted to show, on recording, that I can´t answer to the original blog post regarding Google Authenticator by @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA (linked above) or start a new thread in the AIX Open Source community, which worked, for the first time, with this thread, but immediately failed again afterwards :) .

So please, dear Community Support, change the subject to an appropriate one, I don´t seem to have the permission to do so!

Thanks,

With kind regards,

Hi Stephan,

We will check this and update you.
