CVM

The cvm-pwfile Module

Synopsis:

UNIX-style passwd file module

Credentials:

1. Pass phrase

Description:

This module loads entries from an alternate password file using the fgetpwent API, which requires the file to be formatted the same as the UNIX /etc/passwd file. No group name lookups are done.

Configuration Variables:

$CVM_PWFILE_PATH

the path to the passwd file containing the credential information.

$CVM_PWFILE_PWCMP (optional)

The password comparison module to use. If it is not set, the default password comparison mode is plain-text. To use UNIX crypt style passwords, like /etc/passwd does, set this to "crypt".
