.SH "NAME"
pam_userdb \- PAM module to authenticate against a db database
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBpam_userdb\&.so\fR\ 'u
\fBpam_userdb\&.so\fR db=\fI/path/database\fR [debug] [crypt=[crypt|none]] [icase] [dump] [try_first_pass] [use_first_pass] [unknown_ok] [key_only]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fBcrypt=[crypt|none]\fR
.RS 4
Indicates whether encrypted or plaintext passwords are stored in the database\&. If it is
\fBcrypt\fR, passwords should be stored in the database in
\fBcrypt\fR(3)
form\&. If
\fBnone\fR
is selected, passwords should be stored in the database as plaintext\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBdb=\fR\fB\fI/path/database\fR\fR
.RS 4
Use the
/path/database
database for performing lookup\&. There is no default; the module will return
\fBPAM_IGNORE\fR
if no database is provided\&. Note that the path to the database file should be specified without the
\&.db
suffix\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBdebug\fR
.RS 4
Print debug information\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBdump\fR
.RS 4
Dump all the entries in the database to the log\&. Don\*(Aqt do this by default!
.RE
.PP
\fBicase\fR
.RS 4
Make the password verification to be case insensitive (ie when working with registration numbers and such)\&. Only works with plaintext password storage\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBtry_first_pass\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBuse_first_pass\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBunknown_ok\fR
.RS 4
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\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBkey_only\fR
.RS 4
The username and password are concatenated together in the database hash as \*(Aqusername\-password\*(Aq 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\&.
.RE
.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
.PP
The
\fBauth\fR
and
\fBaccount\fR
module types are provided\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.PP
PAM_AUTH_ERR
.RS 4
Authentication failure\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR
.RS 4
Authentication information cannot be recovered\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_BUF_ERR
.RS 4
Memory buffer error\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_CONV_ERR
.RS 4
Conversation failure\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
.RS 4
Error in service module\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_SUCCESS
.RS 4
Success\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
.RS 4
User not known to the underlying authentication module\&.
.RE
