A comprehensive and practical guide to PAM for Linux: how modules work
and how to implement them, covering 11 common modules, and installation
of third-party offerings. Also covers developing your own modules in C.
First this book explains how Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)
simplify and standardize authentication in Linux. It shows in detail how
PAM works and how it is configured. Then 11 common modules used across
UNIX/Linux distributions are examined and explained, including all their
parameters. Installation of third-party modules is discussed, and the
development of new modules and PAM-aware applications is outlined
PAM-aware applications reduce the complexity of authentication. With PAM
you can use the same user database for every login process. PAM also
supports different authentication processes as required. Moreover, PAM
is a well-defined API, and PAM-aware applications will not break if you
change the underlying authentication configuration. The PAM framework is
widely used by most Linux distributions for authentication purposes.
Originating from Solaris 2.6 ten years ago, PAM is used today by most
proprietary and free UNIX operating systems including GNU/Linux,
FreeBSD, and Solaris, following both the design concept and the
practical details. PAM is thus a unifying technology for authentication
mechanisms in UNIX. PAM is a modular and flexible authentication
management layer that sits between Linux applications and the native
underlying authentication system. PAM can be implemented with various
applications without having to recompile the applications to
specifically support PAM. This book provides a practical approach to
UNIX/Linux authentication. The design principles are explained
thoroughly, then illustrated through the examination of popular modules.
It is intended as a one-stop introduction and reference to PAM. This
book is for experienced system administrators and developers working
with multiple Linux/UNIX servers or with both UNIX and Windows servers.
It assumes a good level of admin knowledge, and that developers are
competent in C development on UNIX-based systems.
