Standards, Environments, and Macros          pam_authtok_store(5)



NAME
     pam_authtok_store - password management module

SYNOPSIS
     pam_authtok_store.so.1

DESCRIPTION
     pam_authtok_store provides functionality to the PAM password
     management     stack.     It    provides    one    function:
     pam_sm_chauthtok().

     When invoked with  flags  set  to  PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK,  this
     module  updates the authentication token for the user speci-
     fied by PAM_USER.

     The authentication  token  PAM_OLDAUTHTOK  can  be  used  to
     authenticate  the user against repositories that need updat-
     ing (NIS, LDAP). After successful updates, the new authenti-
     cation token stored in PAM_AUTHTOK is the user's valid pass-
     word.

     This module honors the PAM_REPOSITORY item, which,  if  set,
     specifies   which   repository   is   to   be   updated.  If
     PAM_REPOSITORY is unset, it follows the nsswitch.conf(4).

     The following option can be passed to the module:

     debug           syslog(3C)  debugging  information  at   the
                     LOG_DEBUG level



     server_policy   If the account authority for  the  user,  as
                     specified  by  PAM_USER, is a server, do not
                     encrypt  the  authentication  token   before
                     updating.



ERRORS
     PAM_SUCCESS             Successfully obtains  authentication
                             token



     PAM_SYSTEM_ERR          Fails to get username, service name,
                             old  password  or new password, user
                             name  null  or  empty,  or  password
                             null.

SEE ALSO
     pam(3PAM),   pam_authenticate(3PAM),    pam_chauthtok(3PAM),
     syslog(3C),    libpam(3LIB),   pam.conf(4),   attributes(5),
     pam_authtok_check(5),   pam_authtok_get(5),   pam_dhkeys(5),
     pam_passwd_auth(5),  pam_unix_account(5),  pam_unix_auth(5),
     pam_unix_session(5)

NOTES
     The interfaces in libpam(3LIB)  are  MT-Safe  only  if  each
     thread  within  the  multi-threaded application uses its own
     PAM handle.

     The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar func-
     tionality     is     provided    by    pam_authtok_check(5),
     pam_authtok_get(5),   pam_authtok_store(5),   pam_dhkeys(5),
     pam_passwd_auth(5),  pam_unix_account(5),  pam_unix_auth(5),
     and pam_unix_session(5).

     If the PAM_REPOSITORY item_type is set and a service  module
     does  not  recognize  the  type, the service module does not
     process any information, and  returns  PAM_IGNORE.   If  the
     PAM_REPOSITORY  item_type  is not set, a service module per-
     forms its default action.
