SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ...
-lpam [ library ... ]
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *
pamh, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The function pam_acct_mgmt()
is called to determine if the current user’s account is valid. This
includes checking for password and account expiration, as well as verifying access hour restrictions and ter-
minal access restrictions for trusted mode. This function is typically called after the user has been authen-
ticated with pam_authenticate(3).
The pamh argument is an authentication handle obtained by a prior call to
pam_start() . The following
flags may be set in the flags field:
PAM_SILENT
The account management service should not generate any messages
PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
The account management service should return PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD
if the user has a null
authentication token.
APPLICATION USAGE
No PAM functions are safe to be called by a multithreaded application.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion,
PAM_SUCCESS is returned. In addition to the error return values described
in pam(3), the following values may be returned:
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User not known to underlying account management module.
PAM_AUTH_ERR Authentication failure.
PAM_AUTHTOKEN_REQD
New authentication token required. This is normally returned if the machine
security policies require that the password should be changed because the
password is NULL or it has aged.
PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
User account has expired.
PAM_ACCT_DISABLED
User account has been disabled (trusted mode only).
PAM_TERM_DISABLED
Terminal has been disabled (trusted mode only).
PAM_NOT_AUTHORIZED
User is not authorized for terminal access (trusted mode only).
PAM_NOT_RTIME Wrong time to login (trusted mode only).
