NAME
pam_authenticate -- perform authentication within the PAM framework LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <security/pam_appl.h> int pam_authenticate(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags); DESCRIPTION
The pam_authenticate function attempts to authenticate the user associated with the pam context specified by the pamh argument. The application is free to call pam_authenticate as many times as it wishes, but some modules may maintain an internal retry counter and return PAM_MAXTRIES when it exceeds some preset or hardcoded limit. The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following values: PAM_SILENT Do not emit any messages. PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK Fail if the user's authentication token is null. If any other bits are set, pam_authenticate will return PAM_SYMBOL_ERR. RETURN VALUES
The pam_authenticate function returns one of the following values: [PAM_ABORT] General failure. [PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL] Authentication information is unavailable. [PAM_AUTH_ERR] Authentication error. [PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error. [PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure. [PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT] Insufficient credentials. [PAM_MAXTRIES] Maximum number of tries exceeded. [PAM_PERM_DENIED] Permission denied. [PAM_SERVICE_ERR] Error in service module. [PAM_SYMBOL_ERR] Invalid symbol. [PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error. [PAM_USER_UNKNOWN] Unknown user. SEE ALSO
