pam_sm_acct_mgmt
pam_sm_acct_mgmt(3) Library Functions Manual pam_sm_acct_mgmt(3)
NAME
pam_sm_acct_mgmt() - service provider implementation for pam_acct_mgmt
SYNOPSIS
[flag]... file... [library]...
DESCRIPTION
In response to a call to pam_acct_mgmt(3), the PAM framework calls from the modules listed in the pam.conf(4) file. The account management
provider supplies the back-end functionality for this interface function. The applications should not call this API directly.
The function, determines whether the current user's account and password are valid. This includes checking for password and account expi-
ration, valid log-in times, etc. The user in question is specified by a prior call to and is referenced by the authentication handle,
pamh, which is passed as the first argument to The following flags may be set in the flags field:
The account management service should not generate any messages.
The account management service should return
if the user has a null authentication token.
The argc argument represents the number of module options passed in from the configuration file pam.conf(4). argv specifies the module
options, which are interpreted and processed by the account management service. Please refer to the specific module man pages for the var-
ious available options. If an unknown option is passed to the module, an error should be logged through syslog(3C) and the option ignored.
If an account management module determines that the user password has aged or expired, it should save this information as state in the
authentication handle, pamh, using uses this information to determine which passwords have expired.
APPLICATION USAGE
Refer to pam(3) for information on thread-safety of PAM interfaces.
RETURN VALUE
If there are no restrictions to logging in, is returned. The following error values may also be returned upon error:
User not known to underlying authentication module.
New authentication token required.
User account has expired.
User denied access to account at this time.
Ignore underlying account module regardless of whether the control
flag is or
User account has been disabled (trusted mode only).
Terminal has been disabled (trusted mode only).
User is not authorized for terminal access (trusted mode only).
Wrong time to login (trusted mode only).
