get_pam_field
Use the get_pam_field
command to return the value of a specified field for the currently selected plug-in authentication module (PAM) application object stored in memory. The get_pam_field
command does not query Active Directory for the PAM application. If you change field values using ADEdit without saving the PAM application to Active Directory, the field value you retrieve using get_pam_field
won’t match the same field value for the PAM application stored in Active Directory.
You can only use the get_pam_field
command if the currently selected zone is a classic4 or hierarchical zone. The command does not work in other types of zones.
