PAM_SM_ACCT_MGMT(3) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_SM_ACCT_MGMT(3)
pam_sm_acct_mgmt - PAM service function for account management
#include <security/pam_modules.h>
int pam_sm_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags, int argc,
const char **argv);
The pam_sm_acct_mgmt function is the service module's
implementation of the pam_acct_mgmt(3) interface.
This function performs the task of establishing whether the user
is permitted to gain access at this time. It should be understood
that the user has previously been validated by an authentication
module. This function checks for other things. Such things might
be: the time of day or the date, the terminal line, remote
hostname, etc. This function may also determine things like the
expiration on passwords, and respond that the user change it
before continuing.
Valid flags, which may be logically OR'd with PAM_SILENT, are:
PAM_SILENT
Do not emit any messages.
PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
Return PAM_AUTH_ERR if the database of authentication tokens
for this authentication mechanism has a NULL entry for the
user.
PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
User account has expired.
PAM_AUTH_ERR
Authentication failure.
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
The user's authentication token has expired. Before calling
this function again the application will arrange for a new one
to be given. This will likely result in a call to
pam_sm_chauthtok().
PAM_PERM_DENIED
Permission denied.
PAM_SUCCESS
The authentication token was successfully updated.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User unknown to password service.
