How do I get securID working on RHEL6?

I've gone thru all the steps ( I have gotten it to work on RHEL7) but I'm not sure about the what to do in /etc/pam.d/sshd.

I commented out the first line and added in the 3rd line. If I leave it like that, it will prompt for a password then let me in without being prompted for RSA. If I comment out the 2nd line, it prompts for RSA only, then lets me in without a password.

Not sure what to do from here. Please help.

 

 

This is /etc/pam.d/sshd from RHEL 6.10


#%PAM-1.0
##auth     required     pam_sepermit.so # Commented out by MY
auth       include      password-auth  ## If this line is commented out, no password prompt  -MY
auth       required     pam_securid.so # Added by MY
account    required     pam_nologin.so
account    include      password-auth
password   include      password-auth
# pam_selinux.so close should be the first session rule
session    required     pam_selinux.so close
session    required     pam_loginuid.so
# pam_selinux.so open should only be followed by sessions to be executed in the user context
session    required     pam_selinux.so open env_params
session    required     pam_namespace.so
session    optional     pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include      password-auth

Can you please confirm when you comment all the lines that contains ( auth ) and keeps only

auth required pam_securid.so

 

Does it prompt you for securid only or even this doesn't work ?

In the first scenario, since the uncommented "auth       include      password-auth" line occurs before the "pam_securid.so" line, then it will just prompt for a password and give you access using just a password and without an RSA login prompt for a passcode.  On a system here, we have those first two lines in your sshd file commented out, and just have the "pam_securid.so" line uncommented.  In that setup, we ssh in using the RSA prompt login and passcode and no additional password prompt occurs.  But, it sounds like you don't require a password to login in either event; you get access without a password.  So, now I am wondering how you have your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file setup, or,  perhaps, if a trust/key is involved allowing you in without a password needed.

If you are asking about the PAM with SSH protocol

 

In the /etc/pam.d/sshd

 

comment any line begin with auth

add the line:  auth required pam_securid.so 

 

This will prompt passcode only

 

If you want to prompt passcode and password

 

add the lines

auth required pam_sepermit.so
auth substack password-auth
auth include postlogin
auth required pam_securid.so
