pam_self
— Self
PAM module
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_self [options]
The Self authentication service module for PAM provides
functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the
module-type parameter, this is the
“auth
” feature.
The Self authentication component
(pam_sm_authenticate
()),
returns success if and only if the target user's user ID is identical with
the current real user ID. If the current real user ID is zero,
authentication will fail, unless the allow_root
option was specified.
The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
debug
LOG_DEBUG
level.no_warn
allow_root
The pam_self
module and this manual page
were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec
AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc.
under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (“CBOSS”), as
part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
