NAME

pam_projects- account management PAM module for projects

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/security/pam_projects.so.1

DESCRIPTION

The projects service module for PAM, /usr/lib/security/pam_projects.so.1, provides functionality for the account management PAM module. The pam_projects.so.1 module is a shared object that can be dynamically loaded to provide the necessary functionality upon demand. Its path is specified in the PAM configuration file.

pam_projects.so.1 is designed to be stacked on top of the pam_unix.so.1 module for all services. This module is normally configured as "required", implying that any user lacking a default project will be denied login.

Projects Account Management Module

The project account management component provides a function to perform account management, pam_sm_acct_mgmt(). This function uses the getdefaultproj(3EXACCT) library function (see getprojent(3EXACCT)) to retrieve the user's default project entry from the project(4) database. It then sets the project ID attribute of the calling process, using the settaskid(2) system call.

If the user does not belong to any project defined in the project(4) database, or if the settaskid() system call failed to set the project ID attribute of the calling process, the module will display an error message and will return error code PAM_PERM_DENIED.

ATTRIBUTES
