Hi, I've got a question that seems pretty trivial to me so it feels like I'm missing something obvious.
I know that there are different provider types: id, auth, chpass, access (and maybe others) But what I don't quite understand is what they actually do. The documentation says: id -> "The identification provider" auth -> "The authentication provider" access -> "The access control provider" chpass -> "The provider which should handle change password operations for the domain." (The first three are not very helpful ;-) ) I understand chpass and I can make a guess about the others but I'm not sure: id: Just returns information about some object auth: Validates credentials for an object access: Checks authorization? But I'm very vague on the details. Is there any more information I can refer to? What are the differences/can anyone point me at an API description or some other documentation? One very specific question for example: What does the krb5 auth mean? Does it retrieve a ticket and try to decrypt that? Thank you! Cheers, Lars
