OPENPAM_NULLCONV(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				       OPENPAM_NULLCONV(3)

NAME
openpam_nullconv -- null conversation function LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <security/pam_appl.h> #include <security/openpam.h> int openpam_nullconv(int n, const struct pam_message **msg, struct pam_response **resp, void *data); DESCRIPTION
The openpam_nullconv() function is a null conversation function suitable for applications that want to use PAM but don't support interactive dialog with the user. Such applications should set PAM_AUTHTOK to whatever authentication token they've obtained on their own before calling pam_authenticate(3) and / or pam_chauthtok(3), and their PAM configuration should specify the use_first_pass option for all modules that require access to the authentication token, to make sure they use PAM_AUTHTOK rather than try to query the user. RETURN VALUES
The openpam_nullconv() function returns one of the following values: [PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure. SEE ALSO
openpam_ttyconv(3), pam(3), pam_authenticate(3), pam_chauthtok(3), pam_prompt(3), pam_set_item(3), pam_strerror(3), pam_vprompt(3) STANDARDS
The openpam_nullconv() function is an OpenPAM extension. AUTHORS

PAM_SM_CHAUTHTOK(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				       PAM_SM_CHAUTHTOK(3)

NAME
pam_sm_chauthtok -- service module implementation for pam_chauthtok LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <security/pam_appl.h> #include <security/pam_modules.h> int pam_sm_chauthtok(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc, const char **argv); DESCRIPTION
The pam_sm_chauthtok() function is the service module's implementation of the pam_chauthtok(3) API function. When the application calls pam_chauthtok(3), the service function is called twice, first with the PAM_PRELIM_CHECK flag set and then again with the PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK flag set. RETURN VALUES
The pam_sm_chauthtok() function returns one of the following values: [PAM_ABORT] General failure. [PAM_AUTHTOK_DISABLE_AGING] Authentication token aging disabled. [PAM_AUTHTOK_ERR] Authentication token failure. [PAM_AUTHTOK_LOCK_BUSY] Authentication token lock busy. [PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR] Failed to recover old authentication token. [PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error. [PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure. [PAM_IGNORE] Ignore this module. [PAM_PERM_DENIED] Permission denied. [PAM_SERVICE_ERR] Error in service module. [PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error. [PAM_TRY_AGAIN] Try again. SEE ALSO
