A login manager is a login system for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It comprises a login daemon, a login user interface, and a system for tracking login sessions.[1] When a user tries to log in, the login manager passes the user's credentials to an authentication system.
Since an X display manager is a graphical user interface for login, some people use the terms display manager and login manager synonymously.[2]
systemd, an init daemon for Linux, has an integrated login manager; its login daemon is called logind.[3] systemd's login manager is a replacement for the no longer maintained ConsoleKit.[4]
