PAM_SYSTEMD(8) pam_systemd PAM_SYSTEMD(8)
NAME
pam_systemd - Register user sessions in the systemd login manager
SYNOPSIS
pam_systemd.so
DESCRIPTION
pam_systemd registers user sessions with the systemd login manager systemd-
logind.service(8), and hence the systemd control group hierarchy.
On login, this module ensures the following:
1. If it does not exist yet, the user runtime directory /run/user/$USER is created and
its ownership changed to the user that is logging in.
2. The $XDG_SESSION_ID environment variable is initialized. If auditing is available and
pam_loginuid.so was run before this module (which is highly recommended), the variable
is initialized from the auditing session id (/proc/self/sessionid). Otherwise, an
independent session counter is used.
3. A new systemd scope unit is created for the session. If this is the first concurrent
session of the user, an implicit slice below user.slice is automatically created and
the scope placed into it.
On logout, this module ensures the following:
1. If enabled in logind.conf(5), all processes of the session are terminated. If the last
concurrent session of a user ends, the user's slice unit will be terminated too.
2. If the last concurrent session of a user ends, the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR directory and all
its contents are removed, too.
If the system was not booted up with systemd as init system, this module does nothing and
immediately returns PAM_SUCCESS.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
class=
Takes a string argument which sets the session class. The XDG_SESSION_CLASS
environmental variable takes precedence. One of "user", "greeter", "lock-screen" or
"background". See sd_session_get_class(3) for details about the session class.
type=
Takes a string argument which sets the session type. The XDG_SESSION_TYPE
environmental variable takes precedence. One of "unspecified", "tty", "x11", "wayland"
or "mir". See sd_session_get_type(3) for details about the session type.
debug[=]
Takes an optional boolean argument. If yes or without the argument, the module will
log debugging information as it operates.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only session is provided.
ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables are set for the processes of the user's session:
$XDG_SESSION_ID
A session identifier, suitable to be used in filenames. The string itself should be
considered opaque, although often it is just the audit session ID as reported by
/proc/self/sessionid. Each ID will be assigned only once during machine uptime. It may
hence be used to uniquely label files or other resources of this session.
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
Path to a user-private user-writable directory that is bound to the user login time on
the machine. It is automatically created the first time a user logs in and removed on
the user's final logout. If a user logs in twice at the same time, both sessions will
see the same $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and the same contents. If a user logs in once, then logs
out again, and logs in again, the directory contents will have been lost in between,
but applications should not rely on this behavior and must be able to deal with stale
files. To store session-private data in this directory, the user should include the
value of $XDG_SESSION_ID in the filename. This directory shall be used for runtime
file system objects such as AF_UNIX sockets, FIFOs, PID files and similar. It is
guaranteed that this directory is local and offers the greatest possible file system
feature set the operating system provides. For further details see the XDG Base
Directory Specification[1].
The following environment variables are read by the module and may be used by the PAM
service to pass metadata to the module:
$XDG_SESSION_TYPE
The session type. This may be used instead of session= on the module parameter line,
and is usually preferred.
$XDG_SESSION_CLASS
The session class. This may be used instead of class= on the module parameter line,
and is usually preferred.
$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP
A single, short identifier string for the desktop environment. This may be used to
indicate the session desktop used, where this applies and if this information is
available. For example: "GNOME", or "KDE". It is recommended to use the same
identifiers and capitalization as for $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, as defined by the Desktop
Entry Specification[2]. (However, note that $XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP only takes a single
item, and not a colon-separated list like $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.) See
sd_session_get_desktop(3) for more details.
$XDG_SEAT
The seat name the session shall be registered for, if any.
$XDG_VTNR
The VT number the session shall be registered for, if any. (Only applies to seats with
a VT available, such as "seat0")
