NAME
pam_sm_acct_mgmt - PAM service function for account management
SYNOPSIS
#define PAM_SM_ACCOUNT
#include <security/pam_modules.h>
-
int pam_sm_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc, const char **argv);
DESCRIPTION
The
pam_sm_acct_mgmt
function is the service module's implementation of the
pam_acct_mgmt(3)
interface.
This function performs the task of establishing whether the user is permitted to gain access at this time. It should be understood that the user has previously been validated by an authentication module. This function checks for other things. Such things might be: the time of day or the date, the terminal line, remote hostname, etc. This function may also determine things like the expiration on passwords, and respond that the user change it before continuing.
Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with
PAM_SILENT, are:
PAM_SILENT
-
Do not emit any messages.
PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
-
Return
PAM_AUTH_ERR
if the database of authentication tokens for this authentication mechanism has a
NULL
entry for the user.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
-
User account has expired.
PAM_AUTH_ERR
-
Authentication failure.
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
-
The user's authentication token has expired. Before calling this function again the application will arrange for a new one to be given. This will likely result in a call to
pam_sm_chauthtok().
PAM_PERM_DENIED
-
Permission denied.
PAM_SUCCESS
-
The authentication token was successfully updated.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
-
User unknown to password service.
