I tried to downgrade NIS linux encryption to DES to support solaris connection.
So I modified /etc/pam.d/system-auth as below,
and then reset the user's password.
I can login the user's account from the linux client with no issue, but I just can't login from the solaris client using both telnet and ssh.
I checked the log message, and it kept showing the following messages.
I just can't figure it out. Did I miss something?
For more information,

#passwd -r nis user1
Enter user1's password;
Can I change the password without having to enter user password?

pwconv
pwconv(8) System Manager's Manual pwconv(8)NAME
pwconv - convert to shadow account
SYNOPSIS
pwconv [-P path]
DESCRIPTION
pwconv installs and updates /etc/shadow with information from /etc/passwd. It relies on the special password 'x' in the password field of
the account. This value indicates that the password for the user is already in /etc/shadow and should not be modified.
If /etc/shadow does not exist, pwconv creates this file, moves the user password to it and creates default aging informations with the help
of the values of PASS_MIN_DAYS, PASS_MAX_DAYS and PASS_WARN_AGE from /etc/login.defs. The password field in /etc/passwd is replaced with
the special character 'x'.
If the /etc/shadow does exist, entries that are in the /etc/passwd file and not in the /etc/shadow file are added to the /etc/shadow file.
Accounts, which only exist in /etc/passwd, are added to /etc/shadow. Entries that are in /etc/shadow and not in /etc/passwd are removed
from /etc/shadow. All passwords from /etc/passwd are moved to /etc/shadow and replaced with the special character 'x'.
pwconv can be used for initial conversion and for updates later.
OPTIONS -P, --path path
The passwd and shadow files are located below the specified directory path. pwconv will use this files, not /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow.

passwd - user account information
shadow - shadow user account information
