Quick Start
You will need to add Django PAM to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_pam',
]
Next you will need to add the Django PAM backend to the AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
'django_pam.auth.backends.PAMBackend',
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
]
The user that runs the application needs to be a member of the /etc/shadow file group. This is necessary so the user can authenticate other users:
$ sudo usermod -a -G shadow <user>
