PAM_WINBIND(8)


NAME

  pam_winbind - PAM module for Winbind


DESCRIPTION

  This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

  pam_winbind is a PAM module that can authenticate users against the local
  domain by talking to the Winbind daemon.


OPTIONS

  pam_winbind supports several options:

  debug
       Gives debugging output to syslog.

  require_membership_of=[SID or NAME]
       If this option is set, pam_winbind will only succeed if the user is a
       member of the given SID or NAME. A SID can be either a group-SID, a
       alias-SID or even a user-SID. It is also possible to give a NAME
       instead of the SID. That name must have the form: MYDOMAIN\mygroup
       orMYDOMAIN\myuser. pam_winbind will, in that case, lookup the SID
       internally. Note that NAME may not contain any spaces. It is thus
       recommended to only use SIDs. You can verify the list of SIDs a user
       is a member of with wbinfo --user-sids=SID.

  try_first_pass

  use_first_pass
       By default, pam_winbind tries to get the authentication token from a
       previous module. If no token is available it asks the user for the old
       password. With this option, pam_winbind aborts with an error if no
       authentication token from a previous module is available.

  use_authtok
       Set the new password to the one provided by the previously stacked
       password module. If this option is not set pam_winbind will ask the
       user for the new password.
