NAME
       pam_pkcs11 - PAM	Authentication Module for PKCS#11 token	libraries

SYNOPSIS
       pam_pkcs11.so [debug] [configfile=<configfile>]

DESCRIPTION
       This  Linux-PAM	login module allows a X.509 certificate	based user lo-
       gin. The	certificate and	its dedicated private key are thereby accessed
       by means	of an appropriate PKCS #11 module. For the verification	of the
       users' certificates, locally stored CA certificates as well  as	either
       online or locally accessible CRLs are used.

CONFIGURATION
       The  program  that needs	a PAM service should be	configured in /usr/lo-
       cal/etc/pam.conf	or /usr/local/etc/pam.d/<servicename>.

       pam_pkcs11 can be used in the <auth> PAM	chain.

       For details on how to configure PAM services, see the PAM documentation
       for your	system.	This manual does not cover PAM configuration  details.
       The  existing  PAM  service  definitions	for other applications on your
       system is also a	good source for	examples on how	 to  configure	a  PAM
       service.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf
