40.Sh NAME
41.Nm pam_tacplus
42.Nd TACACS+ authentication PAM module
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Op Ar service-name
45.Ar module-type
46.Ar control-flag
47.Pa pam_tacplus
48.Op Ar options
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52module provides authentication services based
53upon the TACACS+ protocol
54for the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) framework.
55.Pp
56The
57.Nm
58module accepts these optional parameters:
59.Bl -tag -width ".Cm use_first_pass"
60.It Cm use_first_pass
61causes
62.Nm
63to use a previously entered password instead of prompting for a new one.
64If no password has been entered then authentication fails.
65.It Cm try_first_pass
66causes
67.Nm
68to use a previously entered password, if one is available.
69If no
70password has been entered,
71.Nm
72prompts for one as usual.
73.It Cm echo_pass
74causes echoing to be left on if
75.Nm
76prompts for a password.
77.It Cm conf Ns = Ns Ar pathname
78specifies a non-standard location for the TACACS+ client configuration file
79(normally located in
80.Pa /etc/tacplus.conf ) .
81.It Cm template_user Ns = Ns Ar username
82specifies a user whose
83.Xr passwd 5
84entry will be used as a template to create the session environment
85if the supplied username does not exist in local password database.
86The user
87will be authenticated with the supplied username and password, but his
88credentials to the system will be presented as the ones for
89.Ar username ,
90i.e., his login class, home directory, resource limits, etc.\& will be set to ones
91defined for
92.Ar username .
93.Pp
94If this option is omitted, and there is no username
95in the system databases equal to the supplied one (as determined by call to
96.Xr getpwnam 3 ) ,
97the authentication will fail.
