pam_sm_open_session(3) pam_sm_open_session(3)
NAME
pam_sm_open_session, pam_sm_close_session - Service provider implementation for pam_open_session and
pam_close_session respectively
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lpam [ library ... ]
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
#include <security/pam_modules.h>
int pam_sm_open_session(pam_handle_t *
pamh, int flags, int argc,
const char **
argv);
int pam_sm_close_session(pam_handle_t *
pamh, int flags, int argc,
const char **
argv);
DESCRIPTION
In response to a call to pam_open_session() and pam_close_session(), the PAM framework
calls pam_sm_open_session()
and pam_sm_close_session()
, respectively from the modules
listed in the pam.conf(4) file. The session management provider supplies the back-end functionality for this
interface function.
pam_sm_open_session()
is called to initiate session management. pam_sm_close_session()
is invoked when a session has terminated. The argument pamh is an authentication handle. The following
flag may be set in the flags field:
PAM_SILENT Session service should not generate any messages.
The argc argument represents the number of module options passed in from the configuration file
pam.conf(4). argv specifies the module options, which are interpreted and processed by the session
management service. If an unknown option is passed in, an error should be logged through syslog(3C) and
the option ignored.
APPLICATION USAGE
No PAM functions are safe to be called by a multithreaded application.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion,
PAM_SUCCESS should be returned. The following values may also be
returned upon error:
PAM_SESSION_ERR Can not make/remove an entry for the specified session.
PAM_IGNORE Ignore underlying session module regardless of whether the control flag is
required, optional or sufficient
SEE ALSO
