OpenSSH TIS Authentication Patch

Introduction

This patch adds support for TIS authsrv authentication to OpenSSH.

Note: For systems that have PAM support, please use the pam_authsrv module instead. I will no longer be maintaining this patch once AIX gets PAM support.

Download

The current version of this patch is relative to OpenSSH 3.7.1p2. The patch is available for download from this location:

ftp://ftp.feep.net/pub/software/authsrv/openssh-3.7.1p2-tis-auth.diff

Installation

Download the OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 source and apply the patch listed above. Configure with --with-tis-auth.

Configuration

At run-time, TIS auth can be enabled with this line in sshd_config:

TISAuthentication yes

Note that if S/Key authentication is also enabled, it will be used instead of TIS authentication.
