#453 Replace pam status codes with sssd specific codes
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by sbose.

Currently the authentication, access and change password targets are using pam status codes like PAM_SUCCESS and PAM_SYSTEM_ERR to indicate the result of an operation. This code is sent to the client by the PAM responder.

Using these codes is becoming complicated, because there are conditions which needs to handled internally, e.g. when an provider is offline, where there is no good matching PAM status code.

It would be very helpful to introduce a set of SSSD specific internal status codes and let the PAM responder choose the right PAM status code just before sending the response to the client.

When solving this ticket, we should also take care of the static inline in util/auth_utils.h. It's ugly and only a workaround until this ticket is fixed.

Moving to 1.10 and bumping it up.
