lockchain-core 0.9.0

//! Provides an authentication module backed by PAM
//!
//! The way a user is authenticated is via the `lockchain` group
//! and a simple writing/ deleting of a lock file.

// use nix::sys::wait::*;
// use nix::unistd::{fork, ForkResult};

use pam_auth::Authenticator;
use errors::AuthError;

/// Simple way to authenticate a user for administrative actions
///
/// Attempts to open a PAM session for the provided user/pw combination
/// then attempts to write to a tmpfile in the lockchain config directory.
/// If this action is successful the user is either the same running the
/// lockchain server *or* has access to the file via group permissions.
///
/// This does rely on `lockchain` being properly configured on the server
/// i.e. not using public permissions for the configuration/ state directory.
///
/// **Note** as of `lockchain v0.9.0` this function has not been implemented
/// yet due to issues in the `pam-auth` dependency.
