It should be called after a user has been authenticated and before a session is opened for the user (with +\fBpam_open_session\fR(3)). +.PP +A credential is something that the user possesses. It is some property, such as a +\fIKerberos\fR +ticket, or a supplementary group membership that make up the uniqueness of a given user. On a Linux system the user's +\fIUID\fR +and +\fIGID\fR's are credentials too. However, it has been decided that these properties (along with the default supplementary groups of which the user is a member) are credentials that should be set directly by the application and not by PAM. Such credentials should be established, by the application, prior to a call to this function. For example, +\fBinitgroups\fR(2) (or equivalent) should have been performed. - -.SH "VALID FLAGS" +.PP +Valid +\fIflags\fR, any one of which, may be logically OR'd with +\fBPAM_SILENT\fR, are: .TP -.BR PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED -initialize the credentials for the user. - +PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED +Initialize the credentials for the user. .TP -.BR PAM_DELETE_CRED -delete the user's credentials. - +PAM_DELETE_CRED +Delete the user's credentials. .TP -.BR PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED -delete and then initialize the user's credentials. - +PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED +Fully reinitialize the user's credentials. .TP -.BR PAM_REFRESH_CRED -extend the lifetime of the existing credentials. - +PAM_REFRESH_CRED +Extend the lifetime of the existing credentials. .SH "RETURN VALUE" - -On success -.BR PAM_SUCCESS -is returned, all other return values should be treated as errors. - -.SH ERRORS -May be translated to text with -.BR pam_strerror "(3).
