pam_authtok_store.so.1
pam_authtok_store provides functionality to the PAM password management stack. It provides one function: pam_sm_chauthtok().
When invoked with flags set to PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK, this module updates the authentication token for the user specified by PAM_USER.
The authentication token PAM_OLDAUTHTOK can be used to authenticate the user against repositories that need updating (NIS, LDAP). After successful updates, the new authentication token stored in PAM_AUTHTOK is the user's valid password.
This module honors the PAM_REPOSITORY item, which, if set, specifies which repository is to be updated. If PAM_REPOSITORY is unset, it follows the nsswitch.conf(5).
The following option can be passed to the module: debug
syslog(3C) debugging information at the LOG_DEBUG level
If the account authority for the user, as specified by PAM_USER, is a server, do not encrypt the authentication token before updating.
Successfully obtains authentication token
Fails to get username, service name, old password or new password, user name null or empty, or password null.

syslog (3C), libpam (3LIB), pam (3PAM), pam_authenticate (3PAM), pam_chauthtok (3PAM), pam.conf (5), attributes (7), pam_authtok_check (7), pam_authtok_get (7), pam_dhkeys (7), pam_passwd_auth (7), pam_unix_account (7), pam_unix_auth (7), pam_unix_session (7)
The interfaces in libpam(3LIB) are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multi-threaded application uses its own PAM handle.
The pam_unix(7) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is provided by pam_authtok_check(7), pam_authtok_get(7), pam_authtok_store(7), pam_dhkeys(7), pam_passwd_auth(7), pam_unix_account(7), pam_unix_auth(7), and pam_unix_session(7).
If the PAM_REPOSITORY item_type is set and a service module does not recognize the type, the service module does not process any information, and returns PAM_IGNORE. If the PAM_REPOSITORY item_type is not set, a service module performs its default action.
