PAM_SEPERMIT(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_SEPERMIT(8)
pam_sepermit - PAM module to allow/deny login depending on SELinux
enforcement state
pam_sepermit.so [debug] [conf=/path/to/config/file]
The pam_sepermit module allows or denies login depending on
SELinux enforcement state.
When the user which is logging in matches an entry in the config
file he is allowed access only when the SELinux is in enforcing
mode. Otherwise he is denied access. For users not matching any
entry in the config file the pam_sepermit module returns
PAM_IGNORE return value.
The config file contains a list of user names one per line with
optional arguments. If the name is prefixed with @ character it
means that all users in the group name match. If it is prefixed
with a % character the SELinux user is used to match against the
name instead of the account name. Note that when SELinux is
disabled the SELinux user assigned to the account cannot be
determined. This means that such entries are never matched when
SELinux is disabled and pam_sepermit will return PAM_IGNORE.
See sepermit.conf(5) for details.
