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 terminal access
restrictions for trusted mode. This function
is typically called after the user has been authenticated
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.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion,
PAM_SUCCESSisreturned.
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
