Description

Lets Python applications authenticate users through the system PAM stack. It can integrate tools and services with local Linux authentication policies, modules, and account checks.

PAM authentication is security-critical and may handle real passwords. Protect prompts, avoid logging credentials, and test configuration carefully before relying on it.
