Configure Unix users and groups in a MySQL database. It is system-wide like NIS or LDAP! It features open-ended database design and persistent connections. Works with NSS-compatible systems (Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD).

Purpose of this project is to build portable, easy-to-use and standard compliant library suitable for developing free and commercial software that need support for a RADIUS protocol (RFCs 2138 and 2139).

pam_mount is a Pluggable Authentication Module that can mount volumes for a user session (login). Supports mounting local filesystems of any kind the normal mount utility supports, with extra code to better support CIFS, FUSE, various crypto, and more.

Login.app is an X server management and authentication application. User authentication is performed with either a username/password or via SmartCard based authentication. At startup the app launches the X server and presents an authentication panel which also recongnizes several commands (reboot, halt, exit and console). SmartCard support relies on the OpenSSH authorized_keys file method for authentication and also requires OpenSC, pcsc-lite and OpenSSL.

Implementation of checkpassword-compatible PAM authentication program. Details on "checkpassword" interface are available at http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html

Mesh is a secure, lightweight grid middleware that is based on the addition of a single sign-on capability to the built-in public key authentication mechanism of SSH using system call interposition.
