🍳 nonstick
Nonstick lets you use PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) from Rust without getting stuck in unsafe code.
Status
This is currently very incomplete.
It only provides functionality for developing your own PAM authentication module (i.e., a backend that PAM calls to authenticate a user or do something similar).
A very immature implementation of the PAM Conversation structure is gated behind the experimental feature.
At the moment, Linux-PAM is the only supported PAM implementation.
If you’re looking for a library to implement a PAM client (i.e., something that authenticates using PAM), consider the pam crate.
APIs are likely to break before v0.1.0, and thereafter should stabilize to an eventual 1.0 release.
Goals include:
- Bindings for PAM clients.
- A robust and mature implementation of Conversation.
- Support for non–Linux-PAM implementations.
