Displaying Profile Information

Use the authselect utility to display information about a profile.

To display the active profile and its enabled features, type:

authselect current

The information displayed is similar to the following:

Profile ID: local
Enabled features:
- with-fingerprint

The output of the command in this example indicates that the local profile is active. The with-fingerprint feature is enabled so that authentication uses the pam_fprintd module to verify a user's fingerprints.

To display helpful information about any profile (not only the active one) and a list of the features available, use the authselect show command:

authselect show profile
