NAME
pam_allow - PAM authentication, account, session and password
management PAM module to allow operations
SYNOPSIS
pam_allow.so.1DESCRIPTION
The
pam_allow module implements all the PAM service module functions
and returns
PAM_SUCCESS for all calls. Opposite functionality is
available in the
pam_deny(7) module.
Proper authentication operation requires
pam_unix_cred(7) be stacked
above
pam_allow.
The following options are interpreted:
debug Provides
syslog(3C) debugging information at the
LOG_AUTH | LOG_DEBUG level.
ERRORS
PAM_SUCCESS is always returned.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Allowing ssh none
The following example is a
pam.conf fragment that illustrates a
sample for allowing
ssh none authentication:
sshd-none auth required pam_unix_cred.so.1
sshd-none auth sufficient pam_allow.so.1
sshd-none account sufficient pam_allow.so.1
sshd-none session sufficient pam_allow.so.1
sshd-none password sufficient pam_allow.so.1
Example 2: Allowing Kiosk Automatic Login Service
The following is example is a
pam.conf fragment that illustrates a
sample for allowing
gdm kiosk auto login:
gdm-autologin auth required pam_unix_cred.so.1
gdm-autologin auth sufficient pam_allow.so.1

The interfaces in
libpam(3LIB) are MT-Safe only if each thread within
the multi-threaded application uses its own PAM handle.
This module is intended to be used to either allow access to specific
services names, or to all service names not specified (by specifying
it as the default service stack).
