pam_chauthtok
pam_chauthtok(3PAM) PAM Library Functions pam_chauthtok(3PAM)
NAME
pam_chauthtok - perform password related functions within the PAM framework
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lpam [ library ... ]
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_chauthtok(pam_handle_t *pamh, const intflags);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_chauthtok() function is called to change the authentication token associated with a particular user referenced by the authentica-
tion handle pamh.
The following flag may be passed in to pam_chauthtok():
PAM_SILENT The password service should not generate any messages.
PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK The password service should only update those passwords that have aged. If this flag is not passed, all
password services should update their passwords.
Upon successful completion of the call, the authentication token of the user will be changed in accordance with the password service con-
figured in the system through pam.conf(4).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, PAM_SUCCESS is returned. In addition to the error return values described in pam(3PAM), the following values
may be returned:
PAM_PERM_DENIED No permission.
PAM_AUTHTOK_ERR Authentication token manipulation error.
PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR Authentication information cannot be recovered.
PAM_AUTHTOK_LOCK_BUSY Authentication token lock busy.
PAM_AUTHTOK_DISABLE_AGING Authentication token aging disabled.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User unknown to password service.
PAM_TRY_AGAIN Preliminary check by password service failed.

NOTES
The flag PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK is typically used by a login application which has determined that the user's password has aged or
expired. Before allowing the user to login, the login application may invoke pam_chauthtok() with this flag to allow the user to update the
password. Typically, applications such as passwd(1) should not use this flag.
The pam_chauthtok() functions performs a preliminary check before attempting to update passwords. This check is performed for each password
module in the stack as listed in pam.conf(4). The check may include pinging remote name services to determine if they are available. If
pam_chauthtok() returns PAM_TRY_AGAIN, then the check has failed, and passwords are not updated.
The interfaces in libpam are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multithreaded application uses its own PAM handle.
