RASClient-sso_x86_64.deb
RASClient-sso_x86_64.tar.bz2
RASClient-sso.x86_64.rpm
Debian SSO packages can be installed and removed using standard installers.
Tar SSO packages can be installed and uninstalled by running /opt/2X/Client/scripts/install_sso.sh or /opt/2X/Client/scripts/uninstall_sso.sh respectively.
Rpm SSO packages need to be configured manually after the installation, as there is no tool available to configure the module correctly. For manual configurations refer to README.SSO that is being shipped inside the /opt/2X/Client/doc/ folder.
In RPM environments (e.g. Fedora), where the pam-auth-update tool is not available, the configuration of the pam module needs to be done manually. There are instructions in the README.SSO file.
