pam-auth

Safe Rust bindings to Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM). Currently only supports basic username/password authentication.

Documentation @ gh-pages

Supported Rust versions

Currently builds against 1.5.0 and above.

Note about stability

This crate follows semantic versioning. As such all versions below 1.0.0 should be considered development versions. This means the API could change any time.

Usage

1. Add pam-auth to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
pam-auth = "0.4.0"

2. Use the Authenticator struct to authenticate and open a session

extern crate pam_auth;
pub fn main() {
        let service: "<yourapp>";
        let user: "<user>";
        let password: "<pass>";

        let mut auth = pam_auth::Authenticator::new(service);
        auth.set_credentials(user, password);
        if auth.authenticate().is_ok() && auth.open_session().is_ok() {
            println!("Successfully opened a session!");
        }
        else {
            println!("Authentication failed =/");
        }
}

TODO:

• Implement basic user/password authentication
• Add Authenticator struct
• Add documentation
• Verify current conv does not leak memory
• Allow custom conv functions to be passed (in pam-sys?)
• Code cleanup
