PowerLogin gives system administrators control over the UNIX login and password environment, including control over who can log in where, when, and how, and with what kinds of passwords. Using a flexible login policy language, system administrators can specify such things as what time of day a user may log in, who may log in over modem lines or over the network, whether additional passwords or authentication schemes are used, and so on.
PowerLogin also includes a flexible password-aging system, which is compatible with NIS and shadow passwords, and works across an entire UNIX network. Also, PowerLogin can be easily integrated with authentication mechanisms such as smart cards, to further enhance login security.
PowerLogin contains a complete centralized logging system which tracks all login activity, and allows complex queries to be made as to what activities have occurred. In addition, PowerLogin allows the login environment for each user to be completely specified. Administrators can control whether a shell or some other program is invoked for the user, what directory the user is placed in, and what enviromnent variables are set, among other things.
