We already tried that. Didn't work. PAM is pretty much a broker for other authentication tools like kerberos. It is not setup to use LDAP, which would be an easy integration using the cross reference capabilities. It also doesn't store user information in a etc/password file either, so it doesn't appear that OS authentication is an option and it has to be a custom AREA plugin. There is a java plugin called JPAM, which utilizes JAAS. We are looking at potentially using this and integrating the Java plugin with Remedy. It seems that this may be the easiest route. Does anyone have experience with JPAM or JAAS and AREA?

You need to do is to turn on the "Cross Ref Blank Password" setting and have the user's record have no password in the User form. However, you may need to NOT be using any AREA plugin to make this work too.
