NAME
pam_rps - challenge-response authentication
SYNOPSIS
auth sufficient pam_rps.so
DESCRIPTION
pam_rps.so is designed to provide a true challenge-response authentica-
tion mechanism for PAM-enabled applications.
Without pam_rps, successful authentication can only occur for a user if
the user has previously established an authentication token for use
with the server. Using pam_rps removes this limitation.
ARGUMENTS
debug Enable module debugging. The module will log its progress to
syslog.
throw=number
The challenge issued to the user is derived from a random num-
ber. This argument allows the administrator to control which
challenge will be presented to the user. This argument is meant
for use only when debugging.
NOTES
Never use this module.
