In order to install it, it has to be 41 copied from 42 <filepath>/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-<varname>version</varname>/other/</filepath> 43 to the security modules directory. This is usually 44 <filepath>/lib/security/</filepath> on 32-bit Linux guests or 45 <filepath>/lib64/security/</filepath> on 64-bit Linux guests. 46 Please refer to your guest OS documentation for the correct PAM 47 module directory. 48 </p> 37 <p> The <filepath>pam_vbox.so</filepath> module is shipped as part of the Guest Additions but it 38 is not installed or activated on the guest OS by default.

For Ubuntu, this needs to be 86 added to <filepath>/etc/pam.d/common-auth</filepath>, to the 87 end of the line referencing 88 <filepath>pam_unix.so</filepath>. This argument tells the 89 PAM module to use credentials already present in the stack, 90 such as the ones provided by the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> PAM module. 91 </p> 70 <p> If authentication against the shadow database using <filepath>pam_unix.so</filepath> or 71 <filepath>pam_unix2.so</filepath> is required, the argument 72 <codeph>try_first_pass</codeph> for <filepath>pam_unix.so</filepath> or 73 <codeph>use_first_pass</codeph> for <filepath>pam_unix2.so</filepath> is needed in order 74 to pass the credentials from the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> 75 module to the shadow database authentication module.
