"""
This module provides an AuthProvider for PAM (pluggable authentication module) authentication.
PAM is the Pluggable Authentication Module system (http://www.linux-pam.org/)
It relies on python-pam (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-pam)

Configuration is via config/auth_conf.xml and the following options are supported:
  - auto-register: True/False: automatically register an account for an unknown user. Default: False
  - maildomain: string: all valid users fall within the specified mail domain. Default: None
  - login-use-email: True/False: Parse the email address to get login details. Default: False
  - login-use-username: True/False: Use the username argument for login details. Default: False
                                    Technical note: when a user is not found in the database,
                                    their username is the user part of a user@host email
                                    address. After user creation, however, the username is
                                    the user's public name.
  - pam-service: string: The service name to use for PAM authentication. Default: galaxy
  - use-external-helper: True/False: Run an external helper script as root with sudo to do
                                     authentication. If False authentication is done
                                     by the module directly. Default: False
                                     Technical note: some PAM modules (e.g. pam_unix.so)
                                     require to be run as root to authenticate users.
  - authentication-helper-script: string: Absolute path to helper script to run for authentication. Default: None
                                          There needs to be a config (in /etc/sudoers or /etc/sudoers.d)
                                          that allows the galaxy user to run this as root with no password check
                                          For example:
galaxy	ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /opt/galaxy/scripts/auth/pam_auth_helper.py


Configuration example (for internal authentication, use email for user details):
<authenticator>
  <type>PAM</type>
  <options>
          <auto-register>True</auto-register>
          <maildomain>example.com</maildomain>
          <login-use-email>True</login-use-email>
          <pam-service>ssh</pam-service>
  </options>
</authenticator>
