salt.auth.pam¶

Authenticate against PAM

Provides an authenticate function that will allow the caller to authenticate a user against the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) on the system.

Implemented using ctypes, so no compilation is necessary.

There is one extra configuration option for pam. The pam_service that is authenticated against. This defaults to login

auth.pam.service: login

Note

Solaris-like (SmartOS, OmniOS, ...) systems may need auth.pam.service set to other.

Note

PAM authentication will not work for the root user.

The Python interface to PAM does not support authenticating as root.

Note

This module executes itself in a subprocess in order to user the system python and pam libraries. We do this to avoid openssl version conflicts when running under a salt onedir build.
