PAM_DUO(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAM_DUO(8)
NAME
pam_duo -- PAM module for Duo authentication
SYNOPSIS
pam_duo.so [conf=<FILENAME>]
DESCRIPTION
pam_duo provides secondary authentication (typically after successful password-based authentication) through the Duo authentication service.
OPTIONS
PAM module configuration options supported:
conf Specify an alternate configuration file to load. Default is /etc/duo/pam_duo.conf
debug Debug mode; send log messages to stderr instead of syslog.
CONFIGURATION
The INI-format configuration file must have a ``duo'' section with the following options:
host Duo API host (required).
ikey Duo integration key (required).
skey Duo secret key (required).
groups If specified, Duo authentication is required only for users whose primary group or supplementary group list matches one of the
space-separated pattern-lists (see PATTERNS below).
failmode On service or configuration errors that prevent Duo authentication, fail ``safe'' (allow access) or ``secure'' (deny access).
Default is ``safe''.
pushinfo Send command to be approved via Duo Push authentication. Default is ``no''.
An example configuration file:
[duo]
host = api-deadbeef.duosecurity.com
ikey = SI9F...53RI
skey = 4MjR...Q2NmRiM2Q1Y
pushinfo = yes
Other authentication restrictions may be implemented using pam_listfile(8), pam_access(8), etc.
PATTERNS
A pattern consists of zero or more non-whitespace characters, '*' (a wildcard that matches zero or more characters), or '?' (a wildcard that
matches exactly one character).
A pattern-list is a comma-separated list of patterns. Patterns within pattern-lists may be negated by preceding them with an exclamation mark
('!'). For example, to specify Duo authentication for all users (except those that are also admins), and for guests:
groups = users,!wheel,!*admin guests
FILES
/etc/duo/pam_duo.conf
Default configuration file path

NOTES
When used with OpenSSH's sshd(8), only PAM-based authentication can be protected with this module; pubkey authentication bypasses PAM
entirely. OpenSSH's PAM integration also does not honor an interactive pam_conv(3) conversation, prohibiting real-time Duo status messages
(such as during voice callback).
