-pam_userdb — PAM module to authenticate against a db database
-
-━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
-The pam_userdb module is used to verify a username/password pair against values
-stored in a Berkeley DB database. The database is indexed by the username, and
-the data fields corresponding to the username keys are the passwords.
-
-OPTIONS
-
-crypt=[crypt|none]
-
- Indicates whether encrypted or plaintext passwords are stored in the
- database. If it is crypt, passwords should be stored in the database in
- crypt(3) form. If none is selected, passwords should be stored in the
- database as plaintext.
-
-db=/path/database
-
- Use the /path/database database for performing lookup. There is no default;
- the module will return PAM_IGNORE if no database is provided.
-
-debug
-
- Print debug information.
-
-dump
-
- Dump all the entries in the database to the log. Don't do this by default!
-
-icase
-
- Make the password verification to be case insensitive (ie when working with
- registration numbers and such). Only works with plaintext password storage.
-
-try_first_pass
-
- Use the authentication token previously obtained by another module that did
- the conversation with the application. If this token can not be obtained
- then the module will try to converse. This option can be used for stacking
- different modules that need to deal with the authentication tokens.
-
-use_first_pass
-
- Use the authentication token previously obtained by another module that did
- the conversation with the application. If this token can not be obtained
- then the module will fail. This option can be used for stacking different
- modules that need to deal with the authentication tokens.
-
-unknown_ok
-
- Do not return error when checking for a user that is not in the database.
- This can be used to stack more than one pam_userdb module that will check a
- username/password pair in more than a database.
-
-key_only
-
- The username and password are concatenated together in the database hash as
- 'username-password' with a random value. if the concatenation of the
- username and password with a dash in the middle returns any result, the
- user is valid. this is useful in cases where the username may not be unique
- but the username and password pair are.
