Here we list the generic arguments that all modules can expect to be passed. They are not mandatory, and their absence should be accepted without comment by the module.
- debug
Use the pam_syslog(3) call to log debugging information to the system log files.
- use_first_pass
The module should not prompt the user for a password. Instead, it should obtain the previously typed password (by a call to
pam_get_item()for thePAM_AUTHTOKitem), and use that. If that doesn't work, then the user will not be authenticated. (This option is intended for auth and passwd modules only).
