pam_sm_setcred(3)					     pam_sm_setcred(3)

NAME
       pam_sm_setcred - Service provider implementation for pam_setcred

SYNOPSIS
       [ flag ... ] file ...  [ library ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       In  response  to	 a  call  to  the PAM framework calls from the modules
       listed in the pam.conf(4) file.	The authentication  provider  supplies
       the back-end functionality for this interface function.

       is  called  to  set the credentials of the current user associated with
       the authentication handle, pamh.	 The following flags may be set in the
       flags field.  Note that the first four flags are mutually exclusive:

       Set user credentials for the authentication service.

       Delete user credentials associated with the authentication service.

       Reinitialize user credentials.

       Extend lifetime of user credentials.

       Authentication service should not generate messages.

       If none of these flags are set, is used as the default.

       The  argc  argument  represents	the number of module options passed in
       from the configuration file pam.conf(4).	  argv	specifies  the	module
       options, which are interpreted and processed by the authentication ser‐
       vice.  If an unknown option is passed to the module, an error should be
       logged and the option ignored.

       If  the	flag is not set, then should print any failure status from the
       corresponding function using the conversation function.

       The authentication status (success or reason for failure) is  saved  as
       module-specific	state  in the authentication handle by the authentica‐
       tion module.  The status should be retrieved using and used  to	deter‐
       mine if user credentials should be set.

   Notes
       is passed the same module options that are used by

APPLICATION USAGE
       Refer to pam(3) for information on thread-safety of PAM interfaces.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful	 completion, should be returned.  The following values
       may also be returned upon error:

       Underlying authentication service can not retrieve user credentials.

       User credentials have expired.

       User unknown to the authentication service.

       Failure in setting user credentials.

       Ignore underlying authentication module regardless of whether the
				     control flag is or
