YKPAMCFG(1)                Yubico PAM Module Manual                YKPAMCFG(1)

NAME
       ykpamcfg - Manage user settings for the Yubico PAM module

SYNOPSIS
       ykpamcfg [-1 | -2] [-A] [-p] [-i] [-v] [-V] [-h]

OPTIONS
       -1
           Use slot 1. This is the default.

       -2
           Use slot 2.

       -A action
           Choose action to perform. See ACTIONS below.

       -p path
           Specify output file, default is ~/.yubico/challenge.

       -i iterations
           Number of iterations to use for PBKDF2 of expected response.

       -v
           Enable verbose mode.

       -V
           Display version and exit.

       -h
           Display help and exit.

ACTIONS
   add_hmac_chalresp
       The PAM module can utilize the HMAC-SHA1 Challenge-response (C/R) mode
       found in YubiKeys starting with version 2.2 for offline authentication.
       This action creates the initial state information with the C/R to be
       issued at the next logon.

       The utility currently outputs the state information to a file in the
       current user's home directory (~/.yubico/challenge-123456 for a YubiKey
       with serial number API readout enabled, and ~/.yubico/challenge for one
       without).

       The PAM module supports a system-wide directory for these state files
       (in case the user's home directories are encrypted), but in a
       system-wide directory, the challenge part should be replaced with the
       username. Example: /var/yubico/challenges/alice-123456

       To use the system-wide mode, you currently have to move the generated
       state files manually and configure the PAM module accordingly.

EXAMPLES
       First, program a YubiKey for challenge-response on slot 2:

           $ ykpersonalize -2 -ochal-resp -ochal-hmac -ohmac-lt64 -oserial-api-visible
           ...
           Commit? (y/n) [n]: y

       Now, set the current user to require this YubiKey for logon:

           $ ykpamcfg -2 -v
           ...
           Stored initial challenge and expected response in '/home/alice/.yubico/challenge-123456'.

       Then, configure authentication with PAM for example like this (make a
       backup first):

       /etc/pam.d/common-auth (from Ubuntu 10.10):

           auth  required        pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass
           auth  [success=1 new_authtok_reqd=ok ignore=ignore default=die] pam_yubico.so mode=challenge-response
           auth  requisite       pam_deny.so
           auth  required        pam_permit.so
           auth  optional        pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap
