node-linux-pam-fork

Fork of node-linux-pam to enable prebuilt modules.

Asynchronous PAM authentication for NodeJS. Implements two PAM methods pam_authenticate(3) и pam_acct_mgmt(3).

Usage

const { pamAuthenticate, pamErrors } = require('node-linux-pam');

const options = {
    username: 'username',
    password: 'password',
};

pamAuthenticate(options, function(err, code) {
    if (!err) {
        console.log("Authenticated!");
        return;
    }

    if (err && code === pamErrors.PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD) {
        console.log('Authentication token is expired');
        return;
    }

    console.log(err);
});

Note that you will have a warning about N-API in version < 10, you can disable it by adding the --no-warnings flag to node

First you need to install the development version of PAM libraries for your distro.
