It is linked -.I dynamically -to the authentication modules by -.BR Linux-PAM ". " -It is the task of these module to perform such an authentication. The -specific nature of the authentication is not the concern of the -application. - -.br -Following successful completion, the -.BR name -of the authenticated user will be present in the -.BR Linux-PAM -item -.BR PAM_USER ". " -This item may be recovered with a call to -.BR pam_get_item "(3)." - -.br -The application developer should note that the modules may request -that the user enter their username via the conversation mechanism (see -.BR pam_start "(3))." -Should this be the case, the user-prompt string can be set via -the -.BR PAM_USER_PROMPT -item (see -.BR pam_set_item "(3))." - -.SH "RETURN VALUE" -On success -.BR PAM_SUCCESS -is returned. All other returns should be considered -authentication failures and will be -.I delayed -by an amount specified with prior calls to -.BR pam_fail_delay "(3). " -Specific failures that demand special attention are the following: -.TP -.B PAM_ABORT -the application should exit immediately. Of course, -.BR pam_end "(3)" -should be called first. - -.TP -.B PAM_MAXTRIES -the application has tried too many times to authenticate the -user, authentication should not be attempted again. - -.SH ERRORS -May be translated to text with -.BR pam_strerror "(3).
