NAME

pam-client - A command line PAM client

SYNOPSIS

    pam-client [--help] --login login [--password password] [--service svc]

DESCRIPTION

"pam-client" is a simple command line utility useful for testing the PAM configuration for use with Net::Radius::Server(3) to authenticate remote users. "pam-client" allows for the display and enumeration of all the PAM-specific information available to Net::Radius::Server::PAM(3) match and set methods.

The following options are recognized (See Getopt::Long(3) for information on how to specify them in the command line):

--help: Produces this documentation.
--login login: The login or username for which authentication and authorization with PAM will be attempted.
--password password: The password associated to the username. It will be prompted if not specified.
--service svc: The service identifier to use for the PAM interaction. Defaults to test.

"pam-client" goes through each phase of the authentication and authorization process as specified by PAM, sending to "STDOUT" the relevant diagnostics.
