How to configure RSA Securid Authentication with PAM in Red Hat Satellite?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I'm trying to configure PAM authentication for Red Hat Satellite to work with RSA pam_securid.so module
  • I can login to the machine fine via ssh and the console with the pam_securid PAM module, but its not working with the Satellite login.
  • Even if the securid authentication returns success, the com.redhat.rhn.domain.user.legacy.UserImpl module still returns PAM login fail with Authentication failure, as seen in catalina.out:
