NAME

       pam_sss - PAM module for SSSD

SYNOPSIS

       pam_sss.so [quiet] [forward_pass] [use_first_pass] [use_authtok] [retry=N]

DESCRIPTION

       pam_sss.so is the PAM interface to the System Security Services daemon (SSSD). Errors and results are logged through syslog(3) with the
       LOG_AUTHPRIV facility.

OPTIONS

       quiet
	   Suppress log messages for unknown users.

       forward_pass
	   If forward_pass is set the entered password is put on the stack for other PAM modules to use.

       use_first_pass
	   The argument use_first_pass forces the module to use a previous stacked modules password and will never prompt the user - if no
	   password is available or the password is not appropriate, the user will be denied access.

       use_authtok
	   When password changing enforce the module to set the new password to the one provided by a previously stacked password module.

       retry=N
	   If specified the user is asked another N times for a password if authentication fails. Default is 0.

	   Please note that this option might not work as expected if the application calling PAM handles the user dialog on its own. A typical
	   example is sshd with PasswordAuthentication.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

       All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.

FILES

       If a password reset by root fails, because the corresponding SSSD provider does not support password resets, an individual message can be
       displayed. This message can e.g. contain instructions about how to reset a password.

       The message is read from the file pam_sss_pw_reset_message.LOC where LOC stands for a locale string returned by setlocale(3). If there is
       no matching file the content of pam_sss_pw_reset_message.txt is displayed. Root must be the owner of the files and only root may have read
       and write permissions while all other users must have only read permissions.

       These files are searched in the directory /etc/sssd/customize/DOMAIN_NAME/. If no matching file is present a generic message is displayed.

NAME

       pam_ldap - PAM module for LDAP-based authentication

SYNOPSIS

       pam_ldap.so [...]

DESCRIPTION

       This is a PAM module that uses an LDAP server to verify user access rights and credentials.

OPTIONS

       use_first_pass
	      Specifies that the PAM module should use the first password provided in the authentication stack and not prompt the user for a pass-
	      word.

       try_first_pass
	      Specifies that the PAM module should use the first password provided in the authentication stack and if that fails prompt  the  user
	      for a password.

       nullok Specifying this option allows users to log in with a blank password.  Normally logins without a password are denied.

       ignore_unknown_user
	      Specifies  that  the  PAM module should return PAM_IGNORE for users that are not present in the LDAP directory.  This causes the PAM
	      framework to ignore this module.

       ignore_authinfo_unavail
	      Specifies that the PAM module should return PAM_IGNORE if it cannot contact the LDAP server.  This causes the PAM framework  to  ig-
	      nore this module.

       no_warn
	      Specifies that warning messages should not be propagated to the PAM application.

       use_authtok
	      This  causes the PAM module to use the earlier provided password when changing the password. The module will not prompt the user for
	      a new password (it is analogous to use_first_pass).

       debug  This option causes the PAM module to log debugging information to syslog(3).

       minimum_uid=UID
	      This option causes the PAM module to ignore the user if the user id is lower than the specified value. This can be  used	to  bypass
	      LDAP checks for system users (e.g. by setting it to 1000).

MODULE SERVICES PROVIDED

       All services are provided by this module but currently sessions changes are not implemented in the nslcd daemon.

FILES

       /etc/pam.conf
	      the main PAM configuration file

       /etc/nslcd.conf
	      The configuration file for the nslcd daemon (see nslcd.conf(5))
