Hello,

I’m still working on mapping libpam in Linux using jna. I think once I get an understanding of the first couple of functions it won’t be too bad. Anyhow here are the declarations of the first two functions I am trying to map:

int pam_start(const char *service_name, const char *user,

const struct pam_conv *pam_conversation,

pam_handle_t **pamh);

int pam_end(pam_handle_t *pamh, int pam_status);

and here are the related c structs:

struct pam_message {

int msg_style;

const char *msg;

};

struct pam_response {

char *resp;

int resp_retcode;

};

struct pam_conv {

int (*conv)(int num_msg, const struct pam_message **msg,

struct pam_response **resp, void *appdata_ptr);

void *appdata_ptr;

};

Here is what I’ve come up with so far. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me whether or not what I have come up with so far will work.

* public * * class * PamMessage * extends * Structure {

* int * msgStyle ;

String msg ;

}

* public * * class * PamResponse * extends * Structure {

* public * String resp ;

* public * * int * respRetCode ;

}

* *

* public * * class * PamConv * extends * Structure {

* public * * static * * interface * Conv * extends * Callback {

* int * callback( * int * numMsg, PamMessage pamMessage, PamResponse resp, Pointer appDataPtr);

}

Conv conv ;

Pointer appDataPtr ;

}

* public * * interface * LibPam * extends * Library {

* public * * int * pam_start(String service_name, String user,

PamConv pam_conversation, PointerByReference pamh) ;

* public * * int * pam_end(Pointer pamh, * int * pam_status);

}

Sorry for the long email and tia for any advice you are willing to provide.

Regards,

Michael
