OpenPAM is an open source PAM library that focuses on simplicity,
|
|
|
|
|
correctness, and cleanliness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenPAM aims to gather the best features of Solaris PAM, XSSO and
|
|
|
|
|
Linux-PAM, plus some innovations of its own. In areas where these
|
|
|
|
|
implementations disagree, OpenPAM tries to remain compatible with
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris, at the expense of XSSO conformance and Linux-PAM
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are some of OpenPAM's features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Implements the complete PAM API as described in the original PAM
|
|
|
|
|
paper and in OSF-RFC 86.0; this corresponds to the full XSSO API
|
|
|
|
|
except for mappings and secondary authentication. Also
|
|
|
|
|
implements some extensions found in Solaris 9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Extends the API with several useful and time-saving functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Performs strict checking of return values from service modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Reads configuration from /etc/pam.d/, /etc/pam.conf,
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and /usr/local/etc/pam.conf, in that order;
|
|
|
|
|
this will be made configurable in a future release.
