-.SH "NAME"
-PAM, pam \- Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-This manual is intended to offer a quick introduction to
-\fBLinux\-PAM\fR\&. For more information the reader is directed to the
-\fBLinux\-PAM system administrators\*(Aq guide\fR\&.
-.PP
-\fBLinux\-PAM\fR
-is a system of libraries that handle the authentication tasks of applications (services) on the system\&. The library provides a stable general interface (Application Programming Interface \- API) that privilege granting programs (such as
-\fBlogin\fR(1)
-and
-\fBsu\fR(1)) defer to to perform standard authentication tasks\&.
-.PP
-The principal feature of the PAM approach is that the nature of the authentication is dynamically configurable\&. In other words, the system administrator is free to choose how individual service\-providing applications will authenticate users\&. This dynamic configuration is set by the contents of the single
-\fBLinux\-PAM\fR
-configuration file
-/etc/pam\&.conf\&. Alternatively and preferably, the configuration can be set by individual configuration files located in a
-pam\&.d
-directory\&. The presence of this directory will cause
-\fBLinux\-PAM\fR
-to
-\fIignore\fR
-/etc/pam\&.conf\&.
-.PP
-Vendor\-supplied PAM configuration files might be installed in the system directory
-/usr/lib/pam\&.d/
-or a configurable vendor specific directory instead of the machine configuration directory
-/etc/pam\&.d/\&. If no machine configuration file is found, the vendor\-supplied file is used\&. All files in
-/etc/pam\&.d/
-override files with the same name in other directories\&.
-.PP
-From the point of view of the system administrator, for whom this manual is provided, it is not of primary importance to understand the internal behavior of the
-\fBLinux\-PAM\fR
-library\&. The important point to recognize is that the configuration file(s)
-\fIdefine\fR
-the connection between applications
-(\fBservices\fR) and the pluggable authentication modules
-(\fBPAM\fRs) that perform the actual authentication tasks\&.
-.PP
-\fBLinux\-PAM\fR
-separates the tasks of
-\fIauthentication\fR
-into four independent management groups:
-\fBaccount\fR
-management;
-\fBauth\fRentication management;
-\fBpassword\fR
-management; and
-\fBsession\fR
-management\&. (We highlight the abbreviations used for these groups in the configuration file\&.)
-.PP
-Simply put, these groups take care of different aspects of a typical user\*(Aqs request for a restricted service:
-.PP
-\fBaccount\fR
-\- provide account verification types of service: has the user\*(Aqs password expired?; is this user permitted access to the requested service?
-.PP
-\fBauth\fRentication \- authenticate a user and set up user credentials\&. Typically this is via some challenge\-response request that the user must satisfy: if you are who you claim to be please enter your password\&. Not all authentications are of this type, there exist hardware based authentication schemes (such as the use of smart\-cards and biometric devices), with suitable modules, these may be substituted seamlessly for more standard approaches to authentication \- such is the flexibility of
-\fBLinux\-PAM\fR\&.
-.PP
-\fBpassword\fR
-\- this group\*(Aqs responsibility is the task of updating authentication mechanisms\&. Typically, such services are strongly coupled to those of the
-\fBauth\fR
-group\&. Some authentication mechanisms lend themselves well to being updated with such a function\&. Standard UN*X password\-based access is the obvious example: please enter a replacement password\&.
-.PP
-\fBsession\fR
-\- this group of tasks cover things that should be done prior to a service being given and after it is withdrawn\&. Such tasks include the maintenance of audit trails and the mounting of the user\*(Aqs home directory\&. The
-\fBsession\fR
-management group is important as it provides both an opening and closing hook for modules to affect the services available to a user\&.
