PAM Authentication:
PAM enables a system to use a standard interface to access various kinds of authentication methods, such as Unix passwords or an LDAP directory.

Cleartext Client-Side Authentication Plugin:
client-side plugin can be used to send the password to the server in clear text. There is no corresponding server-side plugin.

Questions:
Has anybody practically tried using PAM authentication OR Cleartext authentication mechanism?
If so please explain how to configure and setup with an example.?
