NAME

pam_oddjob_gpupdate.so - PAM module to update group policy via oddjob

SYNOPSIS

session optional /lib/security/pam_oddjob_gpupdate.so

DESCRIPTION

The pam_oddjob_gpupdate.so module checks if the user exists it invokes the gpupdatefor method of the ru.basealt.oddjob_gpupdate service for the PAM_USER if the module is running with superuser privileges. Otherwise, it ignores.

If D-Bus has not been configured to allow the calling application to invoke these methods provided as part of the ru.basealt.oddjob_gpupdate interface of the / object provided by the ru.basealt.oddjob_gpupdate service, then oddjobd will not receive the request and an error will be returned by D-Bus.

If oddjobd has not been configured to provide these methods, or the user is not authorized to use them, then oddjobd will ignore the module's requests.

OPTIONS

dbus_timeout

What oddjobd does in response to the module's request is controlled by the daemon's configuration file, typically /etc/oddjobd.conf.d/oddjobd-gpupdate.conf.
