English

Authselect generates your system configuration from scratch and stores it at {AUTHSELECT_CONFIG_DIR}. System files are then created as symbolic links to this directory. Symbolic links are used to make it clear that authselect is now owning your configuration and should be used instead of any manual modification.

	English	Actions
	OTHER COMMANDS
	opt-out
	Remove authselect configuration. This will restore nsswitch and PAM configuration under its system location and authselect will no longer manage it. Run authselect select to opt-in again.
	COMMON OPTIONS
	These options are available with all commands.
	--debug
	Print debugging information and error messages.
	--trace
	Print information about what the tool is doing.
	--warn
	Print information about unexpected situations that do not affect the program execution but may indicate some undesired situations (e.g. unexpected file in a profile directory).
	TROUBLESHOOTING
	How can I tell if my system is using authselect?
	Use authselect check. The output will tell you if you have 1) configuration generated by authselect 2) non-authselect configuration or 3) configuration that was generated by authselect but modified manually at some point.
	Is nsswitch.conf supposed to be a symbolic link now?
	Authselect generates your system configuration from scratch and stores it at {AUTHSELECT_CONFIG_DIR}. System files are then created as symbolic links to this directory. Symbolic links are used to make it clear that authselect is now owning your configuration and should be used instead of any manual modification.
	Error: Unexpected changes to the configuration were detected.
	For example:
	[error] [/etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf] does not exist! [error] [/etc/nsswitch.conf] is not a symbolic link! [error] [/etc/nsswitch.conf] was not created by authselect! [error] Unexpected changes to the configuration were detected. [error] Refusing to activate profile unless those changes are removed or overwrite is requested.
	This means that your configuration is unknown to authselect and as such it will not be modified. To fix this, please call authselect select with --force parameter to say that it is all right to overwrite it.
	RETURN CODES
	The authselect can return these exit codes:
	0: Success.
	1: Generic error.
	2: Profile or configuration was not found or the system was not configured with authselect.
	3: Current configuration is not valid, it was edited without authselect.
	4: System configuration must be overwritten to activate an authselect profile, --force parameter is needed.
	5: Executed command must be run as root.
	6: No configuration was detected.
	GENERATED FILES
	Authselect creates and maintains the following files to configure system identity and authentication providers properly.
