/*
	LOW LEVEL AUTHENTICATION DRIVERS.

Each low level authentication driver provides three functions:

1) Primary authentication function.  This function is used to build a
   standalone authentication module based on the mod.h template (see mod.h).
   This function takes an authentication request.  If its valid, it
   changes its userid/groupid to the one for the authenticated user,
   changes the current directory to the authenticated user's home directory,
   and sets the following environment variables:

             MAILDIR - nondefault mailbox location (optional).

2) User lookup function.  This function is prototyped as follows:

     int functionname(const char *userid, const char *service,
		int (*callback)(struct authinfo *, void *),
			void *);

     This function populates the following structure:
*/

struct authinfo {
	const char *sysusername;
	const uid_t *sysuserid;
	gid_t sysgroupid;
	const char *homedir;

	const char *address;
	const char *fullname;
	const char *maildir;
	const char *quota;

	const char *passwd;
	const char *clearpasswd;	/* For authldap */

	unsigned staticindex;	/* When statically-linked functions are
				** called, this holds the index of the
				** authentication module in authstaticlist */

	} ;

/*
	Either sysusername or sysuserid may be NULL, but not both of them.
	They, and sysgroupid, specify the authenticated user's system
	userid and groupid.  homedir points to the authenticated user's
	home directory.  address, fullname, and maildir, are obvious.
	quota is populated with any maildir quota (see
	maildir/README.maildirquota).

	After populating this tructure, the lookup function calls the
	callback function that's specified in its second argument.  The
	callback function receives a pointer to the authinfo structure.

	The callback function also receives a context pointer, which is
	the third argument to the lookup function.

	The lookup function should return a negative value if he userid
	does not exist, a positive value if there was a temporary error
	looking up the userid, or whatever is the return code from the
	callback function, if the user exists.


NOTE: the passwd field is used internally by modules which implement
the primary authentication function by sharing code with the lookup function.

3) Cleanup function.  This function should close any resources that were
   opened by the lookup function.  Note that in applications which have a
   daemon process that uses this library it is possible for the lookup
   function to be called multiple times, before the cleanup function is
   called.
