PAM_SEARCH_LIST(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual PAM_SEARCH_LIST(8)

pam_search_list —
search_list PAM module

[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_search_list [options]

The search_list service module for PAM, pam_search_list provides functionality for only one PAM category: account management. In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the “account” feature.

The search_list account management component (pam_sm_acct_mgmt()), succeeds if and only if the user is listed in a file specified by its path parameter.

The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
suppress warning messages to the user. These messages include reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined.
=filename
path to file to search for username. If file is not readable, error is logged and user is considered to be not found. Required parameter.
reverse the semantics; pam_search_list will succeed if and only if the user is not listed in filename specified by path parameter.
do not automatically fail if the target user's UID is 0.

pam.conf(5), pam(8)

The pam_search_list module and this manual page were developed by Victor Popov and were based on pam_ftpusers module, which was developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (“CBOSS”), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
