pam_pkcs11 - PAM Authentication Module for PKCS#11 token libraries SYNOPSIS
pam_pkcs11.so [debug] [configfile=<configfile>] DESCRIPTION
This Linux-PAM login module allows a X.509 certificate based user login. The certificate and its dedicated private key are thereby accessed by means of an appropriate PKCS #11 module. For the verification of the users' certificates, locally stored CA certificates as well as either online or locally accessible CRLs are used. CONFIGURATION
The program that needs a PAM service should be configured in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/<servicename>. pam_pkcs11 can be used in the <auth> PAM chain. For details on how to configure PAM services, see the PAM documentation for your system. This manual does not cover PAM configuration details. The existing PAM service definitions for other applications on your system is also a good source for examples on how to configure a PAM service. FILES

pklogin_finder - map certificates into a user SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/pam_pkcs11/pklogin_finder [debug] [config_file=filename] DESCRIPTION
pklogin_finder uses the pam_pkcs11 library infrastructure to interactively map a PKCS#11 provided certificate to a user. pklogin_finder uses the same configuration file and arguments than pam_pkcs11(5) PAM module. It loads defined mapper modules and tries to find a map between found certificates and a user login. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: config_file=fileame Set the configuration file. The default value is /etc/security/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf. debug Enable debugging output. The default is no debug. As it uses the same configuration file as pam_pkcs11(5), all of the pam_pkcs11 options are available. Some of these options make no sense in a non-PAM environment, and are therefore ignored. Some mapper options (mapfile, ignorecase) have no effect on certificate contents, and they are ignored as well. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. pkcs11_inspect prints on stdout the login name and exits. 1 An error occurred. A user mapping error was found. 2 An error occurred. No user match was found. EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using pklogin_finder The following example runs the pklogin_finder command without any options: % pkcs11_inspect Example 2 Using pklogin_finder with Options The following example runs the pkcs_finder command with options: % pklogin_finder debug config_file=${HOME}/.pam_pkcs11.conf FILES
