      The pam_userdb module is used to verify a username/password pair
      against values stored in a Berkeley DB database. The database is
      indexed by the username, and the data fields corresponding to the
      username keys are the passwords.
    </p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sag-pam_userdb-options"></a>6.38.2. OPTIONS</h3></div></div></div><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">crypt=[crypt|none]</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Indicates whether encrypted or plaintext passwords are stored
            in the database.  If it is <code class="option">crypt</code>, passwords
            should be stored in the database in
            <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">crypt</span>(3)</span> form.  If <code class="option">none</code> is selected,
            passwords should be stored in the database as plaintext.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">db=<em class="replaceable"><code>/path/database</code></em></code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Use the <code class="filename">/path/database</code> database for
            performing lookup. There is no default; the module will
            return <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_IGNORE</em></span> if no
            database is provided. Note that the path to the database file
            should be specified without the <code class="filename">.db</code> suffix.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">debug</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Print debug information. Note that password hashes, both from db
            and computed, will be printed to syslog.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">dump</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Dump all the entries in the database to the log.
            Don't do this by default!
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">icase</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Make the password verification to be case insensitive
            (ie when working with registration numbers and such).
            Only works with plaintext password storage.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">try_first_pass</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Use the authentication token previously obtained by
            another module that did the conversation with the
            application.  If this token can not be obtained then
            the module will try to converse. This option can
            be used for stacking different modules that need to
            deal with the authentication tokens.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">use_first_pass</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Use the authentication token previously obtained by
            another module that did the conversation with the
            application.  If this token can not be obtained then
            the module will fail. This option can be used for
            stacking different modules that need to deal with
            the authentication tokens.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">unknown_ok</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            Do not return error when checking for a user that is
            not in the database. This can be used to stack more
            than one pam_userdb module that will check a
            username/password pair in more than a database.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">
          <code class="option">key_only</code>
        </span></dt><dd><p>
            The username and password are concatenated together
            in the database hash as 'username-password' with a
            random value.  if the concatenation of the username and
            password with a dash in the middle returns any result,
            the user is valid.  this is useful in cases where
            the username may not be unique but the username and
            password pair are.
