authenticate_pam_toclient

Syntax
int authenticate_pam_toclient ( string user [, string service] )
Description

The authenticate_pam_toclient function authenticates a user by means of the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Method) APIs on the policy server.

NOTE: For more information on how to configure PAM, consult the documentation for your platform.

The service parameter identifies the name of the PAM service to use to authenticate the user. This can be any valid service name configured in the PAM system configuration. It defaults to the PAM service "login".

This function returns 0 to indicate failure and 1 to indicate success.

Example
if (user=="paul" && basename(command)=="useradd") 
{ 
   if (!authenticate_pam_toclient(user, "sshd")) 
   { 
      reject; 
   } 
   runuser="root"; 
   accept; 
   }

comparehosts

Syntax
int comparehosts(hoststring, hostpattern)
Description

comparehosts checks whether a host string (either host name or IP string) matches a host definition, which could be a host name (such as, host1.a.b.com), IP address (such as, 10.10.10.1), netgroup (such as, @mygroup1), host pattern (such as, *.a.b.com) or IP address (such as, 10.10.10.*).

This function honors the value of short names defined in pm.settings when resolving host names.

Returns 1 if a match is found, 0 if no match is found.

Example
if (comparehosts(submithost,"*.a.b.com")) 
   { 
      ... 
   }

datecmp

Syntax
int datecmp(date1, date2)
Description

datecmp compares the two dates, which must be in the format YYYY/MM/DD or YY/MM/DD (in which case 2000 is added to the year).

This function returns these values:

  • -1: date1 < date2
  • 1: date1 > date2
  • 0: date1 = date2
Example
if (datecmp(startdate, enddate) >=0) 
   { 
      reject “startdate must be before enddate”; 
   }
