Hi! I am interested in learning more about Samba's Pluggable Authentication Modules. I have read what is provided in the documentation, but really what I would like to know is if it can work in the environment my team will be deploying soon. We will be using Windows 2008 Servers and will be programming our solution in Java. We would like to utilize a distributed yet centralized authentication solution, however, the biggest problem we have is that some of our servers will be stand alone without the possibility of connectivity. Can PAM provide us distributed (however centrally managed) authentication without connectivity to the main server? Thank you so much for any information you could provide!
