<title>Description</title>
<para><command>pam_systemd</command> registers user sessions with
the systemd login manager
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
and hence the systemd control group hierarchy.</para>
<para>The module also applies various resource management and runtime parameters to the new session, as
configured in the <ulink url="https://systemd.io/USER_RECORD">JSON User Records</ulink> of the user, when
one is defined.</para>
<para>On login, this module — in conjunction with <filename>systemd-logind.service</filename> — ensures the
following:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>If it does not exist yet, the user runtime directory <filename>/run/user/$UID</filename> is
either created or mounted as new <literal>tmpfs</literal> file system with quota applied, and its ownership
changed to the user that is logging in.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The <varname>$XDG_SESSION_ID</varname> environment variable is initialized. If auditing is
available and <command>pam_loginuid.so</command> was run before this module (which is highly recommended), the
variable is initialized from the auditing session id (<filename>/proc/self/sessionid</filename>). Otherwise, an
independent session counter is used.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A new systemd scope unit is created for the session. If this is the first concurrent session of
the user, an implicit per-user slice unit below <filename>user.slice</filename> is automatically created and the
scope placed into it. An instance of the system service <filename>user@.service</filename>, which runs the
systemd user manager instance, is started.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The <literal>$TZ</literal>, <literal>$EMAIL</literal> and <literal>$LANG</literal>
environment variables are configured for the user, based on the respective data from the user's JSON
record (if it is defined). Moreover, any environment variables explicitly configured in the user record
are imported, and the umask, nice level, and resource limits initialized.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>On logout, this module ensures the following:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem><para>If enabled in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>logind.conf</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> (<varname>KillUserProcesses=</varname>), all processes of the session are
terminated. If the last concurrent session of a user ends, the user's systemd instance will be terminated too,
and so will the user's slice unit.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If the last concurrent session of a user ends,
the user runtime directory <filename>/run/user/$UID</filename> and all its
contents are removed, too.</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>If the system was not booted up with systemd as init system,
this module does nothing and immediately returns
<constant>PAM_SUCCESS</constant>.</para>

<term><varname>desktop=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a single, short identifier string for the desktop environment. The

indicate the session desktop used, where this applies and if this information is available. For example:
<literal>GNOME</literal>, or <literal>KDE</literal>. It is recommended to use the same identifiers and
capitalization as for <varname>$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP</varname>, as defined by the <ulink
url="https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/">Desktop Entry
Specification</ulink>. (However, note that the option only takes a single item, and not a colon-separated list
like <varname>$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP</varname>.) See

user's session:</para>
<variablelist class='environment-variables'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>$XDG_SESSION_ID</varname></term>
<listitem><para>A short session identifier, suitable to be used in filenames. The string itself should be
considered opaque, although often it is just the audit session ID as reported by
<filename>/proc/self/sessionid</filename>. Each ID will be assigned only once during machine uptime. It may
hence be used to uniquely label files or other resources of this session. Combine this ID with the boot
identifier, as returned by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, for a
globally unique identifier.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Path to a user-private user-writable directory
that is bound to the user login time on the machine. It is
automatically created the first time a user logs in and
removed on the user's final logout. If a user logs in twice at
the same time, both sessions will see the same
<varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname> and the same contents. If
a user logs in once, then logs out again, and logs in again,
the directory contents will have been lost in between, but
applications should not rely on this behavior and must be able
to deal with stale files. To store session-private data in
this directory, the user should include the value of
<varname>$XDG_SESSION_ID</varname> in the filename. This
directory shall be used for runtime file system objects such
as <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> sockets, FIFOs, PID files and
similar. It is guaranteed that this directory is local and
offers the greatest possible file system feature set the
operating system provides. For further details, see the <ulink
url="https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html">XDG
Base Directory Specification</ulink>. <varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname>

<title>Session limits</title>
<para>PAM modules earlier in the stack, that is those that come before <command>pam_systemd.so</command>,
can set session scope limits using the PAM context objects. The data for these objects is provided as <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated C strings
and maps directly to the respective unit resource control directives. Note that these limits apply to individual sessions of the user,
they do not apply to all user processes as a combined whole. In particular, the per-user <command>user@.service</command> unit instance,
which runs the <command>systemd --user</command> manager process and its children, and is tracked outside of any session, being shared
by all the user's sessions, is not covered by these limits.

<para> See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more information about the resources.
Also, see <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>pam_set_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for additional information about how to set
the context objects.
