1 | OpenPAM is an open source PAM library that focuses on simplicity, |
---|
2 | correctness, and cleanliness. |
---|
3 | |
---|
4 | OpenPAM aims to gather the best features of Solaris PAM, XSSO and |
---|
5 | Linux-PAM, plus some innovations of its own. In areas where these |
---|
6 | implementations disagree, OpenPAM tries to remain compatible with |
---|
7 | Solaris, at the expense of XSSO conformance and Linux-PAM |
---|
8 | compatibility. |
---|
9 | |
---|
10 | These are some of OpenPAM's features: |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | - Implements the complete PAM API as described in the original PAM |
---|
13 | paper and in OSF-RFC 86.0; this corresponds to the full XSSO API |
---|
14 | except for mappings and secondary authentication. |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | - Extends the API with several useful and time-saving functions: |
---|
17 | pam_error(), pam_get_authtok(), pam_info(), pam_prompt(), |
---|
18 | pam_setenv(), pam_verror(), pam_vinfo(), pam_vprompt() |
---|
19 | |
---|
20 | - Offers a number of time-saving convenience functions: |
---|
21 | openpam_log(), openpam_ttyconv(). |
---|
22 | |
---|
23 | - Performs strict checking of return values from service modules. |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | - Reads configuration from /etc/pam.d/, /usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and |
---|
26 | /etc/pam.conf, in that order; this will be made configurable in a |
---|
27 | future release.Please direct bug reports and inquiries to |
---|
