PAM_TACPLUS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual PAM_TACPLUS(8)
NAME
pam_tacplus - TACACS+ authentication PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_tacplus [options]
DESCRIPTION
The pam_tacplus module provides authentication services based upon the
TACACS+ protocol for the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) framework.
The pam_tacplus module accepts these optional parameters:
use_first_pass causes pam_tacplus to use a previously entered password
instead of prompting for a new one. If no password has
been entered then authentication fails.
try_first_pass causes pam_tacplus to use a previously entered password,
if one is available. If no password has been entered,
pam_tacplus prompts for one as usual.
echo_pass causes echoing to be left on if pam_tacplus prompts for a
password.
conf=pathname specifies a non-standard location for the TACACS+ client
configuration file (normally located in
/etc/tacplus.conf).
template_user=username
specifies a user whose passwd(5) entry will be used as a
template to create the session environment if the
supplied username does not exist in local password
database. The user will be authenticated with the
supplied username and password, but his credentials to
the system will be presented as the ones for username,
i.e., his login class, home directory, resource limits,
etc. will be set to ones defined for username.
If this option is omitted, and there is no username in
the system databases equal to the supplied one (as
determined by call to getpwnam(3)), the authentication
will fail.
