+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_sm_authenticate\fR
+function is the service module's implementation of the
+\fBpam_authenticate\fR(3)
+interface.
+.PP
+This function performs the task of authenticating the user.
+.PP
+Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with
+\fIPAM_SILENT\fR, are:
+.TP 3n
+PAM_SILENT
+Do not emit any messages.
+.TP 3n
+PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
+Return
+\fBPAM_AUTH_ERR\fR
+if the database of authentication tokens for this authentication mechanism has a
+\fINULL\fR

+token will lead to a success without the user being prompted.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.TP 3n
+PAM_AUTH_ERR
+Authentication failure.
+.TP 3n
+PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT
+For some reason the application does not have sufficient credentials to authenticate the user.
+.TP 3n
+PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL
+The modules were not able to access the authentication information. This might be due to a network or hardware failure etc.
+.TP 3n
+PAM_SUCCESS
+The authentication token was successfully updated.
+.TP 3n
+PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
+The supplied username is not known to the authentication service.
+.TP 3n
