First suggestion: try 1.5pre6. The UAMs are known to work with that
version.
2-way encryption is supported by uams_randnum.so.
DHX encryption is supported by uams_dhx.so (which is really a symbolic
link to uams_dhx_pam.so or uams_dhx_passwd.so, depending on your
installation). Please upgrade your AppleShare Client to the newest
version for your platform (usually 3.8.8, I think) to allow it to
properly detect DHX authentication.
Thanks,
Jeff
