NAME
pam_chauthtok -- perform password related functions within the PAM framework LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <security/pam_appl.h> int pam_chauthtok(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags); DESCRIPTION
The pam_chauthtok() function attempts to change the authentication token for the user associated with the pam context specified by the pamh argument. The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following values: PAM_SILENT Do not emit any messages. PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK Change only those authentication tokens that have expired. If any other bits are set, pam_chauthtok() will return PAM_SYMBOL_ERR. RETURN VALUES
The pam_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_PERM_DENIED] Permission denied. [PAM_SERVICE_ERR] Error in service module. [PAM_SYMBOL_ERR] Invalid symbol. [PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error. [PAM_TRY_AGAIN] Try again. SEE ALSO

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
