Using this mechanism, an application can communicate X authentication data to PAM service modules\. This allows modules to make a connection to the user\'s X display in order to label the user\'s session on login, display visual feedback or for other purposes\. +.PP +The +\fIname\fR +field contains the name of the authentication method, such as "MIT\-MAGIC\-COOKIE\-1"\. The +\fInamelen\fR +field contains the length of this string, not including the trailing NUL character\. +.PP +The +\fIdata\fR +field contains the authentication method\-specific data corresponding to the specified name\. The +\fIdatalen\fR +field contains its length in bytes\. +.PP +The X authentication data can be changed with the +\fIPAM_XAUTH_DATA\fR +item\. It can be queried and set with +\fBpam_get_item\fR(3) +and +\fBpam_set_item \fR(3) +respectively\. The value used to set it should be a pointer to a pam_xauth_data structure\. An internal copy of both the structure itself and its fields is made by PAM when setting the item\. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP + +\fBpam_start\fR(3), +\fBpam_get_item\fR(3), +.SH "STANDARDS" +.PP +The +\fBpam_xauth_data\fR +structure and +\fIPAM_XAUTH_DATA\fR +item are Linux\-PAM extensions\. |
