PAM_ACCT_MGMT(3) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_ACCT_MGMT(3)
pam_acct_mgmt - PAM account validation management
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
The pam_acct_mgmt function is used to determine if the user's
account is valid. It checks for authentication token and account
expiration and verifies access restrictions. It is typically
called after the user has been authenticated.
The pamh argument is an authentication handle obtained by a prior
call to pam_start(). The flags argument is the binary or of zero
or more of the following values:
PAM_SILENT
Do not emit any messages.
PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
The PAM module service should return PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD if
the user has a null authentication token.
PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
User account has expired.
PAM_AUTH_ERR
Authentication failure.
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
The user account is valid but their authentication token is
expired. The correct response to this return-value is to
require that the user satisfies the pam_chauthtok() function
before obtaining service. It may not be possible for some
applications to do this. In such cases, the user should be
denied access until such time as they can update their
password.
PAM_PERM_DENIED
Permission denied.
PAM_SUCCESS
The authentication token was successfully updated.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User unknown to password service.
