Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	// Enabled controls if PAM checks will occur or not.
	Enabled bool

	// ServiceName is the name of the policy to apply typically in /etc/pam.d/
	ServiceName string

	// Login is the *nix login that that is being used.
	Login string `json:"login"`

	// Stdin is the input stream which the conversation function will use to
	// obtain data from the user.
	Stdin io.Reader

	// Stdout is the output stream which the conversation function will use to
	// show data to the user.
	Stdout io.Writer

	// Stderr is the output stream which the conversation function will use to
	// report errors to the user.
	Stderr io.Writer
}

Config holds the configuration used by Teleport when creating a PAM context and executing PAM transactions.

func (*Config) CheckDefaults

func (c *Config) CheckDefaults() error

CheckDefaults makes sure the Config structure has minimum required values.

type PAM

type PAM struct {
}

PAM is used to create a PAM context and initiate PAM transactions to checks the users account and open/close a session.

func Open

func Open(config *Config) (*PAM, error)

Open creates a PAM context and initiates a PAM transaction to check the account and then opens a session.

func (*PAM) Close

func (p *PAM) Close() error

Close will close the session, the PAM context, and release any allocated memory.

func (*PAM) Environment

func (p *PAM) Environment() []string
