.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In security/pam_appl.h
|
|
.Ft "int"
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok "pam_handle_t *pamh" "int item" "const char **authtok" "const char *prompt"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok
|
|
function either prompts the user for an
|
|
authentication token or retrieves a cached authentication token,
|
|
depending on circumstances.
|
|
Either way, a pointer to the authentication token is stored in the
|
|
location pointed to by the
|
|
.Fa authtok
|
|
argument, and the corresponding PAM
|
|
item is updated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa item
|
|
argument must have one of the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 18n
|
|
.It Dv PAM_AUTHTOK
|
|
Returns the current authentication token, or the new token
|
|
when changing authentication tokens.
|
|
.It Dv PAM_OLDAUTHTOK
|
|
Returns the previous authentication token when changing
|
|
authentication tokens.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa prompt
|
|
argument specifies a prompt to use if no token is cached.
|
|
If it is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv PAM_AUTHTOK_PROMPT
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv PAM_OLDAUTHTOK_PROMPT
|
|
item,
|
|
as appropriate, will be used.
|
|
If that item is also
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
a hardcoded default prompt will be used.
|
|
Additionally, when
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok
|
|
is called from a service module,
|
|
the prompt may be affected by module options as described below.
|
|
The prompt is then expanded using
|
|
.Xr openpam_subst 3
|
|
before it is passed to
|
|
the conversation function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa item
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv PAM_AUTHTOK
|
|
and there is a non-null
|
|
.Dv PAM_OLDAUTHTOK
|
|
item,
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok
|
|
will ask the user to confirm the new token by
|
|
retyping it.
|
|
If there is a mismatch,
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok
|
|
will return
|
|
.Dv PAM_TRY_AGAIN .
|
|
.Sh MODULE OPTIONS
|
|
When called by a service module,
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok
|
|
will recognize the
|
|
following module options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 18n
|
|
.It Dv authtok_prompt
|
|
Prompt to use when
|
|
.Fa item
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv PAM_AUTHTOK .
|
|
This option overrides both the
|
|
.Fa prompt
|
|
argument and the
|
|
.Dv PAM_AUTHTOK_PROMPT
|
|
item.
|
|
.It Dv echo_pass
|
|
If the application's conversation function allows it, this
|
|
lets the user see what they are typing.
|
|
This should only be used for non-reusable authentication
|
|
tokens.
|
|
.It Dv oldauthtok_prompt
|
|
Prompt to use when
|
|
.Fa item
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv PAM_OLDAUTHTOK .
|
|
This option overrides both the
|
|
.Fa prompt
|
|
argument and the
|
|
.Dv PAM_OLDAUTHTOK_PROMPT
|
|
item.
|
|
.It Dv try_first_pass
|
|
If the requested item is non-null, return it without
|
|
prompting the user.
|
|
Typically, the service module will verify the token, and
|
|
if it does not match, clear the item before calling
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok
|
|
a second time.
|
|
.It Dv use_first_pass
|
|
Do not prompt the user at all; just return the cached
|
|
value, or
|
|
.Dv PAM_AUTH_ERR
|
|
if there is none.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pam_get_authtok
|
|
function returns one of the following values:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 18n
|
|
.It Bq Er PAM_BUF_ERR
