PAM_SEPERMIT(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_SEPERMIT(8)
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.
