Struct Pam 

pub struct Pam(/* private fields */);

Opaque PAM handle, with additional native methods available via PamLibExt.

Implementations

impl Pam

pub fn as_send_ref(&mut self) -> PamSendRef<'_>

This allows sending the Pam handle to another thread.

std::thread::scope(|s| {
    let borrowed = pamh.as_send_ref();
    s.spawn(move || {
         let pamh: &Pam = borrowed.into();
    });
});

Synchronized across multiple threads:

std::thread::scope(|s| {
    let shared_1 = std::sync::Arc::new(std::sync::Mutex::new(pamh.as_send_ref()));
    let shared_2 = shared_1.clone();
    s.spawn(move || {
         let pamh: &Pam = &*shared_1.lock().unwrap();
    });
    s.spawn(move || {
         let pamh: &Pam = &*shared_2.lock().unwrap();
    });
});

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> From<&'a mut Pam> for PamSendRef<'a>

fn from(value: &'a mut Pam) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl<'a> From<PamSendRef<'a>> for &'a Pam

fn from(value: PamSendRef<'a>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl<'a> From<PamSendRef<'a>> for &'a mut Pam

fn from(value: PamSendRef<'a>) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PamLibExt for Pam

fn get_user(&self, prompt: Option<&str>) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the username. If the PAM_USER item is not set, this function prompts for a username (like get_authtok). Returns PamError::SERVICE_ERR if the prompt contains any null byte

fn get_cached_user(&self) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the username, i.e. the PAM_USER item. If it’s not set return None.

fn get_cached_authtok(&self) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the cached authentication token.

fn get_cached_oldauthtok(&self) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the cached old authentication token.

fn get_authtok(&self, prompt: Option<&str>) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the cached authentication token or prompt the user for one if there isn’t any. Returns PamError::SERVICE_ERR if the prompt contains any null byte

fn set_authtok(&self, authtok: &CString) -> PamResult<()>

fn get_rhost(&self) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the remote hostname.

fn get_ruser(&self) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the remote username.

fn get_service(&self) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get the service name.

fn conv( &self, prompt: Option<&str>, style: PamMsgStyle, ) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Prompt the user for custom input. Returns PamError::SERVICE_ERR if the prompt contains any null byte

fn getenv(&self, name: &str) -> PamResult<Option<&CStr>>

Get a variable from the pam environment list.

fn putenv(&self, name_value: &str) -> PamResult<()>

Put a variable in the pam environment list. name_value takes for form documented in pam_putent(3) :

unsafe fn send_data<T: PamData + Clone + Send>( &self, module_name: &str, data: T, ) -> PamResult<()>

Send data to be stored by the pam library under the name module_name. The data can then be retrieved from a different callback in this module, or even by a different module using retrieve_data<T>.

unsafe fn retrieve_data<T: PamData + Clone + Send>( &self, module_name: &str, ) -> PamResult<T>

Retrieve data previously stored with send_data<T>.

fn send_bytes( &self, module_name: &str, data: Vec<u8>, cb: Option<PamCleanupCb>, ) -> PamResult<()>

Similar to send_data, but only works with Vec<u8>. The PamData trait doesn’t have to be implemented on the data, a callback can be passed as an argument instead.

fn retrieve_bytes(&self, module_name: &str) -> PamResult<Vec<u8>>

Retrieve bytes previously stored with send_bytes. The result is a clone of the data.

fn syslog(&self, lvl: LogLvl, msg: &str) -> PamResult<()>

Send a message to syslog.
