sepermit.conf - configuration file for the pam_sepermit module

pam_sepermit and this manual page were written by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> Linux-PAM 07/03/2025 SEPERMIT.CONF(5)

The lines of the configuration file have the following syntax: <user>[:<option>:<option>...] The user can be specified in the following manner: • a username • a groupname, with @group syntax. This should not be confused with netgroups. • a SELinux user name with %seuser syntax. The recognized options are: exclusive Only single login session will be allowed for the user and the user's processes will be killed on logout. ignore The module will never return PAM_SUCCESS status for the user. It will return PAM_IGNORE if SELinux is in the enforcing mode, and PAM_AUTH_ERR otherwise. It is useful if you want to support passwordless guest users and other confined users with passwords simultaneously. The lines which start with # character are comments and are ignored.

These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/sepermit.conf. %guest_u:exclusive %staff_u:ignore %user_u:ignore
