NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       auth sufficient pam_rps.so

12

DESCRIPTION

14       pam_rps.so is designed to provide a true challenge-response authentica‐
15       tion mechanism for PAM-enabled applications.
16
17       Without pam_rps, successful authentication can only occur for a user if
18       the  user  has  previously  established an authentication token for use
19       with the server.  Using pam_rps removes this limitation.

27              The  challenge  issued to the user is derived from a random num‐
28              ber.  This argument allows the administrator  to  control  which
29              challenge will be presented to the user.  This argument is meant
30              for use only when debugging.
