[I] Credential Validation Modules
[T] CVM is a framework for validating a set of credentials against a database[T] using a filter program. The modules act as a filter, taking a set of[T] credentials as input and writing a set of facts as output if those[T] credentials are valid. Optional input is given to the module through[T] environment variables.[T][T] Some of the ideas for CVM came from experience with PAM (pluggable[T] authentication modules), the checkpassword interface used by qmail-pop3d,[T] and the "authmod" interface used by Courier IMAP and POP3. This framework[T] places fewer restrictions on the invoking client than checkpassword does,[T] and is much simpler to implement on both sides than PAM and the authmod[T] framework.[T] [T] This package contains:[T] - The reference source for the CVM interface.[T] - Diagnostic and benchmark CVM clients.[T] - A checkpassword interface CVM client.[T] - A UNIX/POSIX system module (uses getpwnam).[T] - A flat-file module.[T] - A library for client writers.[T] - A set of libraries for module writers.
