Note
Modules in the Module column reside in the
/usr/lib
directory.
Profile Controls
Control values determine how the results of multiple authentication, accounting, or session
algorithms are handled and when additional algorithms in a list are invoked. Specifies lists of
algorithms by defining multiple entries under the Auth. Profile, Acct. Profile, and Session
Profile columns of a Service Profile.
The following table describes these effects for algorithm invocation not at the end of the list.
The following table describes these effects for algorithm invocation for a single item or an item
at the end of the list.
Creating a Service Module Example
In creating a new service, there are unique requirements for authentication, accounting and
session management, as follows:
Control Description
required The result is retained and the next algorithm is invoked.
requisite A result of failure is reported immediately and no further algorithms are invoked.
sufficient If no previous algorithm reported failure, a result of success is reported immediately and no
further algorithms are invoked;
a result of failure for this algorithm is discarded;
if a previous algorithm has reported failure or the result of this algorithm is failure, the next
algorithm is invoked.
optional A result of failure is ignored and a result of success is retained;
the next algorithm is always invoked.
Control Description
required The result is combined with the results of previous algorithms such that any failure result
causes failure to be reported.
requisite The result is reported immediately.
sufficient The result is reported immediately
optional A result of success is reported.
