Hi, The PAM framework expects the applications to handle user interactions ( hence the conversation function is provided by the application). For advanced authentication, depending on the type, the PAM module needs to collect appropriate information. So, say, if we have a PAM module for fingerprint authentication, it need not collect any user input (like password) but needs to interact with the user through some hardware. An application developer would have provided a generic conversation function. The adminstrator could change the backend PAM modules to any advanced authentication. How does PAM framework support such mechanisms? Thanks Kala B _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
