This extension provides PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) integration. The library provides a stable API for applications to defer to for authentication tasks.
Not reported
In a nutshell (using the 'rpam' PAM service):
require 'rpam' if Rpam.auth("user","password") == true puts "Authenticate Successful" else puts "Authenticate Failure" end
Or, to use a different PAM service:
if Rpam.auth("user", "password", :service => 'my_foo') == true
This also supports compatibility with the original 'rpam':
include Rpam if authpam("user","password") == true
