It should be called to set the credentials after a user has been authenticated and before a session is opened for the user (with +\fBpam_open_session\fR(3))\&. The credentials should be deleted after the session has been closed (with +\fBpam_close_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\&. +.PP +Valid +\fIflags\fR, any one of which, may be logically OR\'d with +\fBPAM_SILENT\fR, are: +.PP +PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED +.RS 4 +Initialize the credentials for the user\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_DELETE_CRED +.RS 4 +Delete the user\'s credentials\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED +.RS 4 +Fully reinitialize the user\'s credentials\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_REFRESH_CRED +.RS 4 +Extend the lifetime of the existing credentials\&. +.RE +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.PP +PAM_BUF_ERR +.RS 4 +Memory buffer error\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_CRED_ERR +.RS 4 +Failed to set user credentials\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_CRED_EXPIRED +.RS 4 +User credentials are expired\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_CRED_UNAVAIL +.RS 4 +Failed to retrieve user credentials\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_SUCCESS +.RS 4 +Data was successful stored\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_SYSTEM_ERR +.RS 4 +A NULL pointer was submitted as PAM handle, the function was called by a module or another system error occured\&. +.RE +.PP +PAM_USER_UNKNOWN +.RS 4 +User is not known to an authentication module\&. +.RE +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP + +\fBpam_authenticate\fR(3), +\fBpam_open_session\fR(3), +\fBpam_close_session\fR(3), +\fBpam_strerror\fR(3) |
