Unix PAM users are unable to log in to PaperCut NG/MF

THE PAGE APPLIES TO:

Contents

This article refers to the User/Group sync source Unix Standard (PAM, nsswitch etc.).

Is your PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) setup configured to deny services by default?

Some Linux/Unix distributions adopt more stringent defaults for unspecified management groups i.e. account, authentication, password and session.

Try editing the /etc/pam.d/papercut PAM configuration file with appropriate permissions, and adding the following lines:

auth		required	pam_unix.so
account		required	pam_unix.so

Please note: The module name (pam_unix.so) may be different for your Linux/Unix distribution.

Save the file. Changes should come in to affect immediately.
