Thorsten,
Let me clarify. The PAM module I'm writing authenticates the
users against an external data source and pulls back a list of remote
groups. I want groups with those same names to be added to the users.
Most of the examples I've seen on pam_group seem to be for adding
certain groups for all users. I don't want things added for all users,
I want it based on what comes back from my external data store.
I'm assuming by the fact that pam_group can add groups to a user,
there should be a pam api for that, but I have not found any
documentation on this. That is what I'm hopefully looking for; what
where that api is.
If there is some way that pam_group can be utilized to map my remote
groups to local groups; that could also work. However, even then, I
assume there is someway I need to make pam_group aware of the groups
coming back from my pam module.
Thanks,
Doug
