PAM-aware applications

PAM-aware applications are software programs designed to work seamlessly with the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) system on Linux and Unix-like operating systems. PAM provides a flexible framework for managing user authentication, such as login credentials and security policies. When an application is PAM-aware, it can leverage PAM's features for secure and consistent user verification, making authentication easier to manage across different applications. This integration ensures that security settings are centralized, simplifying user management and improving overall system security.
