Re: Controlling PAM modules

Thanks a lot. Please corrrect if my understanding below is what you have
suggested.


create a separate service conf file such as lockout-users in /etc/pam.d,
then in my service conf file, i write like this
auth required pam_stack.so service=lockout-users

After that whenever i want to disable the lockout, just edit the
/etc/pam.d/lockout-users file
and comment as below:

#auth required pam_able.so


Best Regards,
Ivan

Suppose i dont want to enable locking of users, then one solution i
can think of is to share a common database across application and pam
modules. The application sets the flag which indicates, if pam_able
is included or not. Then pam_abl module will look into this database
and then return simply PAM_SUCCESS always or process the user
lockouts.

Put pam_able in a separate policy that you include in the others.
Whenever you want to disable it, just comment out the contents of that
policy.
