- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
- <para>
- The <function>pam_sm_setcred</function> function is the service
- module's implementation of the
- <citerefentry>
- <refentrytitle>pam_setcred</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
- </citerefentry> interface.
- </para>
- <para>
- This function performs the task of altering the credentials of the
- user with respect to the corresponding authorization
- scheme. Generally, an authentication module may have access to more
- information about a user than their authentication token. This
- function is used to make such information available to the
- application. It should only be called <emphasis>after</emphasis> the
- user has been authenticated but before a session has been established.
- </para>
- <para>
- Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with
- <emphasis>PAM_SILENT</emphasis>, are:

- <para>
- The way the <emphasis remap='B'>auth</emphasis> stack is
- navigated in order to evaluate the <function>pam_setcred</function>()
- function call, independent of the <function>pam_sm_setcred</function>()
- return codes, is exactly the same way that it was navigated when
- evaluating the <function>pam_authenticate</function>() library
- call. Typically, if a stack entry was ignored in evaluating
- <function>pam_authenticate</function>(), it will be ignored when
- libpam evaluates the <function>pam_setcred</function>() function
- call. Otherwise, the return codes from each module specific
- <function>pam_sm_setcred</function>() call are treated as
- <emphasis remap='B'>required</emphasis>.
