3. Information about the authselect package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package authselect:
-----------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : authselect
Version : 1.4.3+git.0.87bb4b3-1.2
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 52.9 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : authselect-1.4.3+git.0.87bb4b3-1.2.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/authselect/authselect
Summary : Configures authentication and identity sources from supported profiles
Description :
Authselect is designed to be a replacement for authconfig but it takes
a different approach to configure the system. Instead of letting
the administrator build the PAM stack with a tool (which may potentially
end up with a broken configuration), it would ship several tested stacks
(profiles) that solve a use-case and are well tested and supported.
At the same time, some obsolete features of authconfig are not
supported by authselect.
