This presentation will describes through user experience how to install and configure the PAM Client for Linux for zSeries components that integrate with CA Top Secret to allow extending your existing mainframe security implementation to Linux for zSeries with a single site repository for users and passwords. This session will cover the PAM client and proxy server runs on each Linux guest (zSeries architecture) and the CA DSI server that runs in USS and using CA Top Secret (also usable with CA ACF2) to process all authentication requests. We will also outline issues and problem resolution as part of this user experience.
