NAME
openpam_nullconv — null conversation function
LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)
DESCRIPTION
The
openpam_nullconv function is a null conversation function suitable for applications that want to use PAM but don't support interactive dialog with the user. Such applications should set
PAM_AUTHTOK to whatever authentication token they've obtained on their own before calling
pam_authenticate(3) and / or
pam_chauthtok(3), and their PAM configuration should specify the
use_first_pass option for all modules that require access to the authentication token, to make sure they use
PAM_AUTHTOK rather than try to query the user.
RETURN VALUES
The
openpam_nullconv function returns one of the following values:
-
[PAM_CONV_ERR]
-
Conversation failure.
STANDARDS
The openpam_nullconv function is an OpenPAM extension.
