RE: Security 101: Account Security - PAM!

in #security • 7 years ago

Very nice post, thanks for taking the time! I would be grateful if you could give an example of how to use these modules in a concrete way, like e.g. in a python script or a c++ program.

    In python you could use something like this:

    import pam

if pam.authenticate('username','password'):
    print 'authentication correct'
else:
    print 'authentication incorrect'



    You'll need the python-pam module. I have no Python experience, got the code from Stack Overflow, so it may/may not work.

    You can also see this code sample in Stack Overflow for using PAM in C++ to get an idea and implement it in your own code.

    I plan to make some examples in the series though.
