Hi. I am new to this list and to PAM so I hope that you all will be nice to me :-) The company that I am working for have diced that over program will use PAM as an authentication. The program is used under Linux, Sun and Digital. I have made a small program to test it. It looks like this. #include <security/pam_appl.h> #include <security/pam_misc.h> #include <stdio.h> static struct pam_conv conv = { misc_conv, NULL }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { pam_handle_t *pamh=NULL; int retval; const char *user="guest"; retval = pam_start("check_user", user, &conv, &pamh); if(argc == 2) { user = argv[1]; } if(argc < 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: check_user [username]\n"); exit(1); } if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) retval=pam_set_item(pamh,PAM_USER,user); if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) retval = pam_authenticate(pamh, 0); /* is user really user? */ if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) retval = pam_acct_mgmt(pamh, 0); /* permitted access? */ /* This is where we have been authorized or not. */ if (retval == PAM_SUCCESS) { fprintf(stdout, "Authenticated\n"); } else { fprintf(stdout, "Not Authenticated\n"); } if (pam_end(pamh,retval) != PAM_SUCCESS) { /* close Linux-PAM */ pamh = NULL; fprintf(stderr, "check_user: failed to release authenticator\n"); exit(1); } return ( retval == PAM_SUCCESS ? 0:1 ); /* indicate success */ } Now to my problem. 1) The program I am manage is using a webpage for the user to login to. So I can?t use misc_conv an as I understand is that misc_conv and pam_misc.h is Linux specified. So how should I write the program so that misc_conv is not used so that I can send in the password before pam_authenticate. I like to do something like this retval=pam_set_item(pamh,PAM_USER,user); but for password. 2) This should also work on Solaris and in the further Digital. What I would like is a small example code. So if you known some program or webpage that have this please show me the way. Sorry for my English. /Simon ------------------------------------------------- Simon Johansson Ladokenheten Umeå University SE - 90187 Umeå ------------------------------------------------- Phone: +46(0)90 - 786 70 88 Fax: +46(0)90 - 786 69 91 www: <http://www.umu.se/ladokenheten> www.umu.se/ladokenheten _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
