Applications that use the PAM API may have their - authentication behavior configured by the system administrator through the - use of the service's PAM configuration file.</p> -<p class="Pp">PAM modules provide four classes of functionality:</p> -<dl class="Bl-tag"> - <dt>account</dt> - <dd>Account verification services such as password expiration and access - control.</dd> - <dt>auth</dt> - <dd>Authentication services. This usually takes the form of a - challenge-response conversation. However, PAM can also support, with - appropriate hardware support, biometric devices, smart-cards, and so - forth.</dd> - <dt>password</dt> - <dd>Password (or, more generally, authentication token) change and update - services.</dd> - <dt>session</dt> - <dd>Session management services. These are tasks that are performed before - access to a service is granted and after access to a service is withdrawn. - These may include updating activity logs or setting up and tearing down - credential forwarding agents.</dd> -</dl> -<p class="Pp">A primary feature of PAM is the notion of “stacking” - different modules together to form a processing chain for the task. This - allows fairly precise control over how a particular authentication task is - performed, and under what conditions. PAM module configurations may also - inherit stacks from other module configurations, providing some degree of - centralized administration.</p> -</section> -<section class="Sh"> -<h1 class="Sh" id="SEE_ALSO"><a class="permalink" href="#SEE_ALSO">SEE - ALSO</a></h1> -<p class="Pp"><a class="Xr">login(1)</a>, <a class="Xr">passwd(1)</a>, - <a class="Xr">su(1)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam(3)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam.conf(5)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_chroot(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_deny(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_echo(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_exec(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_ftpusers(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_group(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_guest(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_krb5(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_ksu(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_lastlog(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_login_access(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_nologin(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_permit(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_radius(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_rhosts(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_rootok(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_securetty(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_self(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_skey(8)</a>, - <a class="Xr">pam_ssh(8)</a>, <a class="Xr">pam_unix(8)</a></p> -</section> -<section class="Sh"> -<h1 class="Sh" id="HISTORY"><a class="permalink" href="#HISTORY">HISTORY</a></h1> -<p class="Pp">The Pluggable Authentication Module framework was originally - developed by SunSoft, described in DCE/OSF-RFC 86.0, and first deployed in - Solaris 2.6.
