Folder Mounting PAM module
[service-name] function-class control-flag pam_mount [options]
The Home Folder Mounting PAM module supports the authentication
and session management function classes. In terms of the
function-class parameter, these are
“auth” and
“session” respectively.
The Home Folder Mounting authentication module reads the mount authenticator from the PAM authentication context and caches it in the PAM environment. The Home Folder Mounting Session Management Module must be used in conjunction with this module to remove the authenticator from the PAM environment.
The Home Folder Mounting session management module copies the mount authenticator from the PAM environment, removes it from the PAM environment, and uses its copy to mount the user's home folder if the user's OpenDirectory record indicates that an AFP, SMB, NFS or FileVault home folder is to be used.
When the session is closed, the Home Folder Mounting session management module unmounts the user's home folder if it was mounted by this module when the session was opened.
