There are basically two ways to configure the plugin, and they somewhat conflict with one another.

So we've had this dual configuration approach and the CLI/UI weren't handling both correctly. Anyway we'd like to make this consistent and only allow the child entry config, but we'd like to know how everyone is using the PAM PTA plugin. Are you using the main config entry, or are you using the child entry approach? > > Thanks in advance for sharing your input! >
