pam_set_items - A PAM test module to set module-specific PAM items

Description

       PAM modules store data in PAM items. These items are only accessible from module context, not application
       context as they might include private data (PAM_AUTHTOK normally contains the password). But when testing
       PAM modules, it’s often nice to make sure a PAM module under test can retrieve data from the stack. The
       pam_set_items module makes this possible by reading environment variables and setting them as PAM items.

Example

       Consider an example that tests that pam_unix is able to read a provided password and doesn’t query on its
       own. The test service file would contain:

           auth required        pam_set_items.so
           auth required        pam_unix.so

       Then the test would put the item to the test environment with:

           setenv("PAM_AUTHTOK", "secret");

       Then run the PAM conversation.
