| Summary : Simple PAM module for fingerprint authentication
|
Description :
pam_fprint is a simple PAM module which uses libfprint\'s fingerprint processing
and verification functionality for authentication. In other words, instead of
seeing a password prompt, you\'re asked to scan your fingerprint.
pam_fprint is a proof-of-concept, and also my-first-PAM-module. It has some
deficiencies:
* Can\'t be configured in any way.
* Finds the first enrolled fingerprint that can be verified on a device
that is currently plugged in, and uses that one and only that one.
* Reads enrolled fingerprints from users home directories.
o It will only work when trying to authenticate your own user account
(as you can read your own home directory), or in the system login
prompt (which runs as root).
o You cannot authenticate yourself as another user, since you don\'t
have access to read that user\'s home directory.
To use pam_fprint, you must run pam_fprint_enroll to enroll (scan) your
finger(s).
