- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
- <para>
- The <function>pam_sm_chauthtok</function> function is the service
- module's implementation of the
- <citerefentry>
- <refentrytitle>pam_chauthtok</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
- </citerefentry> interface.
- </para>
- <para>
- This function is used to (re-)set the authentication token of the user.

- <varlistentry>
- <term>PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- This argument indicates to the module that the users
- authentication token (password) should only be changed if
- it has expired. This flag is optional and
- <emphasis>must</emphasis> be combined with one of the
- following two flags. Note, however, the following two options
- are <emphasis>mutually exclusive</emphasis>.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>PAM_PRELIM_CHECK</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- This indicates that the modules are being probed as to
- their ready status for altering the user's authentication
- token. If the module requires access to another system over
- some network it should attempt to verify it can connect to
- this system on receiving this flag. If a module cannot establish
- it is ready to update the user's authentication token it should
- return <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_TRY_AGAIN</emphasis>, this
- information will be passed back to the application.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- This informs the module that this is the call it should change
- the authorization tokens. If the flag is logically OR'd with
- <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK</emphasis>, the
- token is only changed if it has actually expired.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- </variablelist>
- <para>
- The PAM library calls this function twice in succession. The first
- time with <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_PRELIM_CHECK</emphasis> and then,
- if the module does not return
- <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_TRY_AGAIN</emphasis>, subsequently with
- <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK</emphasis>. It is only on
- the second call that the authorization token is (possibly) changed.
