OpenPAM is an open source PAM library that focuses on simplicity,
correctness, and cleanliness.
OpenPAM aims to gather the best features of Solaris PAM, XSSO and
Linux-PAM, plus some innovations of its own. In areas where these
implementations disagree, OpenPAM tries to remain compatible with
Solaris, at the expense of XSSO conformance and Linux-PAM
compatibility.

These are some of OpenPAM's features:
2002-02-23 01:22:51 +00:00
- Implements the complete PAM API as described in the original PAM
paper and in OSF-RFC 86.0; this corresponds to the full XSSO API
2002-12-16 15:28:05 +00:00
except for mappings and secondary authentication. Also
implements some extensions found in Solaris 9.

- Extends the API with several useful and time-saving functions.
2002-02-23 01:22:51 +00:00
- Performs strict checking of return values from service modules.
2002-12-16 15:28:05 +00:00
- Reads configuration from /etc/pam.d/, /etc/pam.conf,
/usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and /usr/local/etc/pam.conf, in that order;
this will be made configurable in a future release.
