# pam-rs - An up-to-date fork of [pam](https://github.com/1wilkens/pam)
[](https://crates.io/crates/pam-rs)
[](https://docs.rs/pam-rs/)

**Note:** This is an updated fork of the [pam](https://github.com/1wilkens/pam) crate, I am not the original author of this crate.
***
Note: Currently only supports basic username/password authentication out-of-the-box.
## Warning
Environment support through the `env` module is probably broken and should not be used in the current state!
## Usage
1. Add `pam-rs` to your Cargo.toml:
```toml
[dependencies]
pam-rs = "0.9.2"
```
2. Use the `Authenticator` struct to authenticate and open a session
```rust
extern crate pam_rs;
pub fn main() {
let service = "<yourapp>";
let user = "<user>";
let password = "<pass>";
let mut auth = pam_rs::Authenticator::with_password(service).unwrap();
auth.handler_mut().set_credentials(user, password);
if auth.authenticate().is_ok() && auth.open_session().is_ok() {
println!("Successfully opened a session!");
}
else {
println!("Authentication failed =/");
}
}
```
## TODO:
- [x] Implement basic user/password authentication
- [x] Add `Authenticator` struct
- [ ] Add (more) documentation
- [x] Verify current `conv` does not leak memory
- [x] Allow custom `conv` functions to be passed
- [ ] Code cleanup
## Supported Rust versions
The library is only continuously built against Rust stable, beta and nightly but as it does not use a lot of new language features it should probably compile on older versions as well.
If you encounter problems building on older versions and a small fix can be applied to make the build succeed, consider opening a pull request.
## Note about stability
This crate follows [semantic versioning](http://semver.org). As such all versions below `1.0.0` should be
considered development versions. This means the API could change any time.
