PAM_OPIE(8)

NAME
pam_opie - OPIE PAM module

SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_opie [options]

DESCRIPTION
The OPIE authentication service module for PAM, pam_opie provides functionality for only one PAM category: that of authentication. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the “auth” feature. It also provides a null function for session management.

  OPIE Authentication Module
The OPIE authentication component provides functions to verify the identity of a user (pam_sm_authenticate()), which obtains the relevant opie(4) credentials. It provides the user with an OPIE challenge, and verifies that this is correct with opiechallenge(3).

The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

debug
    syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

auth_as_self
    This option will require the user to authenticate themself as the user given by getlogin(2), not as the account they are attempting to access. This is primarily for services like su(1), where the user's ability to retype their own password might be deemed sufficient.

FILES
/etc/opiekeys
    default OPIE password database.
