ss5.passwd(5)ss5.passwd(5)NAMEss5.passwd - Contains usernames and passwords for user authentication.
SYNOPSIS
ss5 usually reads the password file, ss5.passwd, in the /etc/opt/ss5
directory.
DESCRIPTION
To enable Username/Password authentication with the ss5 daemon you must
create a password file, and modify the ss5 configuration file,
ss5.conf.
In the password file, add one line for each user. Each line should con‐
tain the username and password for the user, separated by white space.
In the ss5 configuration file, add an auth line to require authentica‐
tion and allow the user access. For additional information about the
ss5 configuration file, refer to the ss5.conf(5) man page.
Adding Username/Password authentication to ss5 requires 3 steps:
1. Create the password file with one entry per line. To create an
entry for the user named matthew, whose password is secret, add
this line to the ss5.passwd file:
matthew secret
2. Edit the auth line in the configuration file to require User‐
name/Password authentication. The configuration file may con‐
tain auth lines such as:
auth - - -
To add username and password authentication, change the line
to:
auth - - u
3. Restart the server.
