Hi,
Maybe I should be asking this question to GDM people, but it seems a general PAM question, too.
We are writing a smartcard PAM module, and are trying to set a prompt. We want to prompt something like "Please enter username or insert smartcard" at the begining of the login process. We are testing this with gdmlogin, but I think it's common for other applications as well.
We can set a prompt using a conversation function all right. This is good.
However, gdmlogin always displays a prompt "Username" before calling pam_sm_authenticate(). It is only after a user enters a username and hits Enter Key that pam_sm_authenticate() is called. So our PAM module doesn't have a chance to override the initial message.
Is there any way to work around it and display a different message as the initial message?
Thank you.
