pam_acct_mgmt - PAM account validation management
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_acct_mgmt(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
The pam_acct_mgmt function is used to determine if the user's account
is valid. It checks for authentication token and account expiration
and verifies access restrictions. It is typically called after the
user has been authenticated.
The pamh argument is an authentication handle obtained by a prior
call to pam_start(). The flags argument is the binary or of zero or
more of the following values:
PAM_SILENT
Do not emit any messages.
PAM_DISALLOW_NULL_AUTHTOK
The PAM module service should return PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD if the
user has a null authentication token.
PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED
User account has expired.
PAM_AUTH_ERR
Authentication failure.
PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD
The user account is valid but their authentication token is
expired. The correct response to this return-value is to require
that the user satisfies the pam_chauthtok() function before
obtaining service. It may not be possible for some applications
to do this. In such cases, the user should be denied access until
such time as they can update their password.
PAM_PERM_DENIED
Permission denied.
PAM_SUCCESS
The authentication token was successfully updated.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User unknown to password service.
