      The following are a list of terms used within this document.
    </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">Authentication token</span></dt><dd><p>
            Generally, this is a password. However, a user can authenticate
            him/herself in a variety of ways. Updating the user's
            authentication token thus corresponds to
            <span class="emphasis"><em>refreshing</em></span> the object they use to
            authenticate themself with the system. The word password is
            avoided to keep open the possibility that the authentication
            involves a retinal scan or other non-textual mode of
            challenge/response.
          </p></dd><dt><span class="term">Credentials</span></dt><dd><p>
            Having successfully authenticated the user, PAM is able to
            establish certain characteristics/attributes of the user.
            These are termed <span class="emphasis"><em>credentials</em></span>. Examples
            of which are group memberships to perform privileged tasks
            with, and <span class="emphasis"><em>tickets</em></span> in the form of
            environment variables etc. . Some user-credentials, such as
            the user's UID and GID (plus default group memberships) are
            not deemed to be PAM-credentials. It is the responsibility
            of the application to grant these directly.
