pam_env

PAM_ENV(8)							 Linux-PAM Manual							PAM_ENV(8)

NAME

       pam_env - PAM module to set/unset environment variables

SYNOPSIS

       pam_env.so [debug] [conffile=conf-file] [envfile=env-file] [readenv=0|1] [user_envfile=env-file] [user_readenv=0|1]

DESCRIPTION

       The pam_env PAM module allows the (un)setting of environment variables. Supported is the use of previously set environment variables as
       well as PAM_ITEMs such as PAM_RHOST.

       By default rules for (un)setting of variables is taken from the config file /etc/security/pam_env.conf if no other file is specified.

       This module can also parse a file with simple KEY=VAL pairs on separate lines (/etc/environment by default). You can change the default
       file to parse, with the envfile flag and turn it on or off by setting the readenv flag to 1 or 0 respectively.

       Since setting of PAM environment variables can have side effects to other modules, this module should be the last one on the stack.

OPTIONS

       conffile=/path/to/pam_env.conf

	   environments.

       readenv=0|1
	   Turns on or off the reading of the file specified by envfile (0 is off, 1 is on). By default this option is on.

       user_envfile=filename
	   Indicate an alternative .pam_environment file to override the default. This can be useful when different services need different
	   environments. The filename is relative to the user home directory.

       user_readenv=0|1
	   Turns on or off the reading of the user specific environment file. 0 is off, 1 is on. By default this option is off.
