+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_setcred\fR
+function is used to establish, maintain and delete the credentials of a user\&. It should be called to set the credentials after a user has been authenticated and before a session is opened for the user (with
+\fBpam_open_session\fR(3))\&. The credentials should be deleted after the session has been closed (with
+\fBpam_close_session\fR(3))\&.
+.PP
+A credential is something that the user possesses\&. It is some property, such as a
+\fIKerberos\fR
+ticket, or a supplementary group membership that make up the uniqueness of a given user\&. On a Linux system the user\*(Aqs
+\fIUID\fR
+and
+\fIGID\fR\*(Aqs are credentials too\&. However, it has been decided that these properties (along with the default supplementary groups of which the user is a member) are credentials that should be set directly by the application and not by PAM\&. Such credentials should be established, by the application, prior to a call to this function\&. For example,
+\fBinitgroups\fR(2)
+(or equivalent) should have been performed\&.
+.PP
