OpenPAM is an implementation of PAM used by FreeBSD, Darwin and NetBSD and offered as an alternative to Linux PAM in certain Linux distributions.

OpenPAM was developed for the FreeBSD Project by Dag-Erling Smørgrav and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 ("CBOSS"), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.

On 2008-01-08, OpenPAM was one of eleven projects selected by Coverity for promotion to Rung 2 of their DHS-funded Open Source Hardening Project, which tracks bugs found in Open Source software by Coverity's Prevent static analysis tool. [1] [2]
