Restructure pam conversation function
Altered return values form the function. With the earlier
implementation, the function returned PAM_AUTH_ERR on failure scenarios
which is incorrect. Replaced PAM_AUTH_ERR with PAM_CONV_ERR and
PAM_BUF_ERR at respetive places.
Added a check for number of messages received by the conversation
function capped at PAM_MAX_NUM_MSG.
Added a check for password size, which is capped at PAM_MAX_RESP_SIZE
as the bytes in the password greater than this limit would be discarded
by PAM.
Though pam_response structure and response, which are dynamically
allocated by the pam conversation function are the responsibility of the
caller to free them, with the current implemention, there is a possibility of
memory leak when numMsg would be zero or if PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF
message never arrived.
This commit fixes the possible memory leak by allocating only on
receiving PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF message.
Tested:
- Basic Authencation is functional.
- POST on /redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions was succesfull with
the right credentials
- POST on /redfish/v1/AccountService was successfull when the password
was within the limit, and returned a failure when password length
exceeded the limit.
