authconfig:tldr:46af6

The command "authconfig --update --enablelocauthorize" is used to update the system's authentication configuration and enable local authorization.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

• "authconfig": This is the command used to modify the authentication configuration on Linux systems.

• "--update": This option is used to update the authentication configuration with new settings.

• "--enablelocauthorize": This option enables local authorization. Local authorization allows users to authenticate and be authorized against the system's local user database. In other words, it means that the system will check the user's credentials against the local accounts rather than relying on external authentication sources.

By executing this command, the authentication configuration will be updated on the system, and local authorization will be enabled.
