pam_pkcs11 - PAM Authentication Module for PKCS#11 token libraries

Author

       Original  PAM-pkcs11  was written by Mario Strasser <mast@gmx.net>.  Newer versions are from Juan Antonio
       Martinez <jonsito@teleline.es>.

Configuration

       The program that needs a PAM service should be configured in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/<servicename>.

       pam_pkcs11 can be used in the <auth> PAM chain.

       For details on how to configure PAM services, see the PAM documentation for your system. This manual does
       not cover PAM configuration details. The existing PAM service definitions for other applications on  your
       system is also a good source for examples on how to configure a PAM service.

Description

       This  Linux-PAM  login  module  allows  a  X.509  certificate  based  user login. The certificate and its
       dedicated private key are thereby  accessed  by  means  of  an  appropriate  PKCS  #11  module.  For  the
       verification  of  the  users'  certificates,  locally  stored CA certificates as well as either online or
       locally accessible CRLs are used.
