FOXMAN‑UN R18 is a 64 bit application and uses the PAM file /etc/pam.d/nem-auth for the configuration of user authentication. By default, user authentication is performed locally.

Alternative authentications to local authentication are supported and can be implemented by installing and configuring the additionally required PAM modules. The modules you will require depend on the user authentication protocol being used in your organization or in your network.

Red Hat is offering several options via SSSD (System Security Services Daemon) and its PAM module (pam_sss.so):

Please refer to the document Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 - “Configuring authentication and authorization in RHEL” for its configuration.

For Microsoft Active Directory via SSSD please also refer to [1KHW029190] Application note “Integration with Active Directory (AD)”.

A furher authentication protocol supported is RADIUS; please refer to [1KHW029093] Application note “FreeRADIUS Integration for its configuration.

If you are using the Monitoring Dashboard, we strongly recommend the change of the default password for the influxDB user as proposed in the application note “FOXMAN-UN Metrics Database” [1KHW029196] which is part of the user documentation.

Once you have successfully installed RHEL 9 and FOXMAN‑UN and verified that FOXMAN‑UN is running correctly (which may be possible in a later stage only; also see section FOXMAN‑UN License Key Ordering, Installation, and Reporting), the local repo is no longer required.

To unmount the local repo, execute:
