  • 1.  Rearrange Authentication Process

    Posted Tue February 23, 2021 12:54 AM
    Hi,

    Currently, we have integrated AIX with Two Factor authentication System (Safenet SAS) for SSH  login, which is working fine. With current configuration it asks for the OTP first and then for the Password. But, is there  any configurations that can be applied so that the Server asks for Password First and then for the OTP.

    Hello

    This might need to be configured from Safenet SAS authentication service.

    From ssh configuration, one needs to configure PAM, please check link for configuration :
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/enable-ssh-aix-use-pam

    And in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config , need to set authenticationmethods as
    AuthenticationMethods password,keyboard-interactive
    (This should prompt for password first and then the keyboard-interactive method which is otp based)

    refresh ssh daemon after configuration
    stopsrc -s sshd
    startsrc -s sshd

    Thanks
