What realm? Do you run a cluster?

We have only one proxmox server (3.1-17 with Kernel: 2.6.32-25) without a cluster

proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-113 (running kernel: 2.6.32-25-pve)
pve-manager: 3.1-17 (running version: 3.1-17)

> Linux PAM standard authentication

Thank, here is solution


1. Linux PAM needs the user to have been created in the Linux file System before adding to the PVE GUI.
Created a linux user with useradd survive (not adduser). Then entered the details in the PVE GUI as Linux PAM.

2. PVE Auth Server creates the user with the password as a virtual user in the PVE GUI outside of the linux file system.
