pklogin_finder(1)

Name

pklogin_finder - map certificates into a user

Synopsis

/usr/lib/pam_pkcs11/pklogin_finder [debug] [config_file=filename]

Description

pklogin_finder uses the pam_pkcs11 library infrastructure to interactively map a PKCS#11 provided certificate to a user.

pklogin_finder uses the same configuration file and arguments than pam_pkcs11(5) PAM module. It loads defined mapper modules and tries to find a map between found certificates and a user login.

Options

The following options are supported:

config_file=fileame

Set the configuration file.

The default value is /etc/security/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf.

debug

Enable debugging output.

The default is no debug.

As it uses the same configuration file as pam_pkcs11(5), all of the pam_pkcs11 options are available. Some of these options make no sense in a non-PAM environment, and are therefore ignored. Some mapper options (mapfile, ignorecase) have no effect on certificate contents, and they are ignored as well.

Exit Status

The following exit values are returned:

0

Successful completion.

pkcs11_inspect prints on stdout the login name and exits.

1

An error occurred.

A user mapping error was found.

2

An error occurred.

No user match was found.

Examples
