PAM provides Pluggable Authentication Modules. It is a flexible,
|
|
dynamically configurable mechanism for authenticating users.
|
|
|
|
PAM provides a way to develop programs that are independent of
|
|
authentication scheme. These programs need "authentication modules" to be
|
|
attached to them at run-time in order to work. Which authentication module
|
|
is to be attached is dependent upon the local system setup and is at the
|
|
discretion of the local system administrator.
|
|
|
|
This package includes the dynamic and static libpam libraries,
|
|
developer files, and related programmer's man pages documenting
|
|
the functions. Over 25 PAM modules are included. This is Linux-PAM;
|
|
it works with Solaris, NetBSD, AIX, and other operating systems.
