• The module always returns true and will use an authentication token that will be provided by

  a higher authentication module.

  Note: When a higher authentication module has been set to SUFFICIENT, it will succeed again immediately and pam_2Xclient.so will not be called. Please change ENOUGH TO REQUIRED.

  auth optional pam_2xclient.so password optional pam_2xclient.so

  Debug: The debug trace will be written to /tmp/pam_2xclient.log. If the file cannot be opened, syslog will be used.

  You can use the debug argument with all module types. EG. Optional session pam_2xclient.so

• debugging The module will create an SSO cookie for known session services only
