NAME

6       pam_sm_acct_mgmt - PAM service function for account management
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <security/pam_modules.h>
10
11       int pam_sm_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc,
12                            const char **argv);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The pam_sm_acct_mgmt function is the service module's implementation of
16       the pam_acct_mgmt(3) interface.
17
18       This function performs the task of establishing whether the user is
19       permitted to gain access at this time. It should be understood that the
20       user has previously been validated by an authentication module. This
21       function checks for other things. Such things might be: the time of day
22       or the date, the terminal line, remote hostname, etc. This function may
23       also determine things like the expiration on passwords, and respond
24       that the user change it before continuing.
25
26       Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with PAM_SILENT, are:
27
28       PAM_SILENT
29           Do not emit any messages.
30
31       PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
32           Return PAM_AUTH_ERR if the database of authentication tokens for
33           this authentication mechanism has a NULL entry for the user.
34

RETURN VALUES

36       PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
37           User account has expired.
38
39       PAM_AUTH_ERR
40           Authentication failure.
41
42       PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
43           The user's authentication token has expired. Before calling this
44           function again the application will arrange for a new one to be
45           given. This will likely result in a call to pam_sm_chauthtok().
46
47       PAM_PERM_DENIED
48           Permission denied.
49
50       PAM_SUCCESS
51           The authentication token was successfully updated.
52
53       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
54           User unknown to password service.
