15
17 The pam_sm_acct_mgmt function is the service module´s implementation of
18 the pam_acct_mgmt(3) interface.
19
20 This function performs the task of establishing whether the user is
21 permitted to gain access at this time. It should be understood that the
22 user has previously been validated by an authentication module. This
23 function checks for other things. Such things might be: the time of day
24 or the date, the terminal line, remote hostname, etc. This function may
25 also determine things like the expiration on passwords, and respond
26 that the user change it before continuing.
27
28 Valid flags, which may be logically OR´d with PAM_SILENT, are:
29
30 PAM_SILENT
31 Do not emit any messages.
32
33 PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
34 Return PAM_AUTH_ERR if the database of authentication tokens for
35 this authentication mechanism has a NULL entry for the user.
36
38 PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
39 User account has expired.
40
41 PAM_AUTH_ERR
42 Authentication failure.
43
44 PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
45 The user´s authentication token has expired. Before calling this
46 function again the application will arrange for a new one to be
47 given. This will likely result in a call to pam_sm_chauthtok().
48
49 PAM_PERM_DENIED
50 Permission denied.
51
52 PAM_SUCCESS
53 The authentication token was successfully updated.
54
55 PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
56 User unknown to password service.
