       This plugin is an acquisition plugin and will provide the LCMAPS system with Local Account credential in‐
       formation.   The  plugin  tries to find a local account (more specifically a UserID) based on the Distin‐
       guished Name (DN) of the user's end-entity certificate.

       It will try to find a DN to local account name mapping in the grid-mapfile.  The plugin will resolve  the
       UID, GID and all the secondary GIDs of the mapped local (system) account username.

              When no grid-mapfile is specified as option to the plugin, it will try to obtain the file location
              from one of these environment variables.

       Since  version 1.6.0 the localaccount plugin supports grid-mapfile entries with multiple usernames, sepa‐
       rated by a comma without whitespace. This can be used in combination with specifying a requestedusername
       (such as by gsissh), to pick any of these accounts. When no requestedusername is specified, the first is
       used. This requires LCMAPS version 1.6.0 or newer.

              This  file  must contain DNs to (local) user account name mappings.  It is strongly advised to set
              this option and to set it to an absolute path to avoid usage of the wrong file(path).  When unset,
              the plugin will try to obtain the value from one of the environment variables  (see  ENVIRONMENT).
              When  those  are also unset, the default depends on whether the plugin runs inside a (setuid-)root
              application. In the (setuid-)root case, the default is  /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile.   In  the
              non-(setuid-)root  case, the default is <homedir>/.gridmap. If that latter default does not exist,
              the plugin will return the account information of the calling user.  In a  (setuid-)root  applica‐
              tion, relative paths are taken with respect to /etc/grid-security/.

LCMAPS_MOD_SUCCESS
              Success.

       LCMAPS_MOD_FAIL
              Failure.
