PAM_WRAPPER(1)							  PAM_WRAPPER(1)

NAME
     pam_wrapper  -  A preloadable wrapper to test PAM applications and PAM Mod-
     ules

SYNOPSIS
     LD_PRELOAD=libpam_wrapper.so	  PAM_WRAPPER=1 	PAM_WRAPPER_SER-
     VICE_DIR=/path_to_config ./myapplication

DESCRIPTION
     This  tool  allows  you  to either test your PAM application or module. For
     testing PAM applications we have written a simple PAM module called pam_ma-
     trix (see below). If you plan to test a PAM module you can use the  pamtest
     library  we  have implemented. It simplifies testing of modules. You can be
     combine it with the cmocka unit testing framework or you can use  the  pro-
     vided Python bindings to write tests for your module in Python.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     pam_wrapper  is  activated and controlled by environment variables. You can
     set the following variables:

     PAM_WRAPPER
	 If you load the pam_wrapper and enable it  with  setting  PAM_WRAPPER=1
	 all  PAM  calls  will be wrapped so you are able to specify a directory
	 with the service files pam_wrapper should be using.

     PAM_WRAPPER_SERVICE_DIR
	 The directory to read PAM service files from.

     If you want to use pam_matrix (see below) or want to test your own PAM mod-
     ule you need to specify the absolute path to your	module	in  the  service
     files.

     PAM_WRAPPER_DEBUGLEVEL
	 If  you  need	to  see what is going on in pam_wrapper itself or try to
	 find a bug, you can enable logging support in pam_wrapper if you  built
	 it with debug symbols.

	 *   0 = ERROR

	 *   1 = WARNING

	 *   2 = DEBUG

	 *   3 = TRACE

     PAM_WRAPPER_USE_SYSLOG
	 By default pam logs will go to the pam_wrapper DEBUG log level and will
	 not  be sent to the syslog. If you want to log to the syslog to you can
	 set this variable to 1.

     PAM_WRAPPER_KEEP_DIR
	 If this option is set to 1, then pam_wrapper won't delete its temporary
	 directories. Mostly useful for pam_wrapper development.

     PAM_WRAPPER_DISABLE_DEEPBIND
	 This allows you to disable deep binding in pam_wrapper. This is  useful
	 for  running  valgrind  tools	or  sanitizers like (address, undefined,
	 thread).

EXAMPLE
     A service file for pam_wrapper should look like this:

	 auth		 required	 /usr/lib/pam_wrapper/pam_matrix.so passdb=/path/to/pdb
	 account	 required	 /usr/lib/pam_wrapper/pam_matrix.so passdb=/path/to/pdb
	 password	 required	 /usr/lib/pam_wrapper/pam_matrix.so passdb=/path/to/pdb
	 session	 required	 /usr/lib/pam_wrapper/pam_matrix.so passdb=/path/to/pdb

     The name of the file should represent the service name used by your PAM ap-
     plication.

     LD_PRELOAD=./libpam_wrapper.so	   PAM_WRAPPER=1	PAM_WRAPPER_SER-
     VICE_DIR=./pam_services ./my_pam_app

PAM_MATRIX
     We offer a module to make testing of PAM applications easier. You find more
     information in the pam_matrix(8) manpage.
