191094SdesOpenPAM is an open source PAM library that focuses on simplicity, 291094Sdescorrectness, and cleanliness. 391094Sdes 491094SdesOpenPAM aims to gather the best features of Solaris PAM, XSSO and 591094SdesLinux-PAM, plus some innovations of its own. In areas where these 691094Sdesimplementations disagree, OpenPAM tries to remain compatible with 791094SdesSolaris, at the expense of XSSO conformance and Linux-PAM 891094Sdescompatibility. 991094Sdes 10107937SdesThese are some of OpenPAM's features: 1191094Sdes 1291094Sdes - Implements the complete PAM API as described in the original PAM 1391094Sdes paper and in OSF-RFC 86.0; this corresponds to the full XSSO API 14107937Sdes except for mappings and secondary authentication. Also 15107937Sdes implements some extensions found in Solaris 9. 1691094Sdes 1794209Sdes - Extends the API with several useful and time-saving functions. 1891094Sdes 1991094Sdes - Performs strict checking of return values from service modules. 2091094Sdes 21107937Sdes - Reads configuration from /etc/pam.d/, /etc/pam.conf, 22107937Sdes /usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and /usr/local/etc/pam.conf, in that order; 23107937Sdes this will be made configurable in a future release. 2491094Sdes 25228692SdesPlease direct bug reports and inquiries to <des@des.no>. 26
