Configuring ASE native authentication

About this task

By default, ASE uses native ASE authentication which ships with the system. Each user can run CLI commands by including the shared username and password with each command. The system ships with a default username (admin) and password (admin).

Always change the default password using the update_password command. For more information on ASE commands, see Appendix A.

Steps

  • To configure ase.conf to support native authentication, use the default configuration values:

    auth_method=ase::db

  • To change the authentication from native authentication to PAM mode, enter the following command in ASE command line:

    In the example, login is a PAM script used for authentication.

    		 
    /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh update_auth_method pam::login -u admin -p
 <password>

  • To switch from PAM mode authentication back to native authentication, issue the following CLI command:

    /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh update_auth_method ase::db -u  <pam_user>  -p
 <password>

    Example:

    The following is an example of a CLI command with native authentication (-u,-p) enabled:

    /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/cli.sh add_server -u admin -p
 <password>
