NAME

pam_chauthtok - updating authentication tokens  

SYNOPSIS

#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_chauthtok(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
 

DESCRIPTION

The pam_chauthtok function is used to change the authentication token for a given user (as indicated by the state associated with the handle pamh).

The pamh argument is an authentication handle obtained by a prior call to pam_start(). The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following values:

PAM_SILENT

Do not emit any messages.

PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK

PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR

A module was unable to obtain the old authentication token.

PAM_AUTHTOK_LOCK_BUSY

One or more of the modules was unable to change the authentication token since it is currently locked.

PAM_AUTHTOK_DISABLE_AGING

Authentication token aging has been disabled for at least one of the modules.

PAM_PERM_DENIED

Permission denied.

PAM_SUCCESS

The authentication token was successfully updated.

PAM_TRY_AGAIN
