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: + + - 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 + except for mappings and secondary authentication. + + - Extends the API with several useful and time-saving functions: + pam_error(), pam_get_authtok(), pam_info(), pam_prompt(), + pam_setenv(), pam_verror(), pam_vinfo(), pam_vprompt() + + - Offers a number of time-saving convenience functions: + openpam_log(), openpam_ttyconv(). + + - Performs strict checking of return values from service modules. + + - Reads configuration from /etc/pam.d/, /usr/local/etc/pam.d/ and + /etc/pam.conf, in that order; this will be made configurable in a + future release.Please direct bug reports and inquiries to + openpam@thinksec.com. + +$Id$ |
