Definitions of pluggable authentication module:

• Pluggable authentication modules or PAM are a mechanism to integrate multiple low-level authentication schemes into a high-level API, which allows for programs that rely on authentication to be written independently of the underlying authentication scheme. PAM were first developed by Sun Microsystems, and are currently supported in Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
