[COPY] [COPY] --- ROCK-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [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.
