NAME

       sepermit.conf - configuration file for the pam_sepermit module

DESCRIPTION

       The lines of the configuration file have the following syntax:

       <user>[:<option>:<option>...]

       The user can be specified in the following manner:

       o   a username

       o   a groupname, with @group syntax. This should not be confused with netgroups.

       o   a SELinux user name with %seuser syntax.

       The recognized options are:

       exclusive
	   Only single login session will be allowed for the user and the user's processes will be killed on logout.

       ignore
	   The module will never return PAM_SUCCESS status for the user. It will return PAM_IGNORE if SELinux is in the enforcing mode, and
	   PAM_AUTH_ERR otherwise. It is useful if you want to support passwordless guest users and other confined users with passwords
	   simultaneously.

       The lines which start with # character are comments and are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       These are some example lines which might be specified in /etc/security/sepermit.conf.

	   %guest_u:exclusive
	   %staff_u:ignore
	   %user_u:ignore

NAME

       pam_sepermit - PAM module to allow/deny login depending on SELinux enforcement state

SYNOPSIS

       pam_sepermit.so [debug] [conf=/path/to/config/file]

DESCRIPTION

       The pam_sepermit module allows or denies login depending on SELinux enforcement state.

       When the user which is logging in matches an entry in the config file he is allowed access only when the SELinux is in enforcing mode.
       Otherwise he is denied access. For users not matching any entry in the config file the pam_sepermit module returns PAM_IGNORE return value.

       The config file contains a list of user names one per line with optional arguments. If the name is prefixed with @ character it means that
       all users in the group name match. If it is prefixed with a % character the SELinux user is used to match against the name instead of the
       account name. Note that when SELinux is disabled the SELinux user assigned to the account cannot be determined. This means that such
       entries are never matched when SELinux is disabled and pam_sepermit will return PAM_IGNORE.

       See sepermit.conf(5) for details.

OPTIONS

       debug
	   Turns on debugging via syslog(3).

       conf=/path/to/config/file
	   Path to alternative config file overriding the default.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

       The auth and account module types are provided.

RETURN VALUES

       PAM_AUTH_ERR
	   SELinux is disabled or in the permissive mode and the user matches.

       PAM_SUCCESS
	   SELinux is in the enforcing mode and the user matches.

       PAM_IGNORE
	   The user does not match any entry in the config file.

       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
	   The module was unable to determine the user's name.

       PAM_SERVICE_ERR
	   Error during reading or parsing the config file.

FILES

       /etc/security/sepermit.conf
	   Default configuration file

EXAMPLES

	   auth     [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_sepermit.so
