Reading the documentation is easy, understanding it perhaps less so, but
I have managed to make the following interpretation. I think I'm right
here.

Authorize is from "files",

And the module "unix" (the only one configured) returns notfound.
Auth-Type System means to authenticate against /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow
or similar

Somewhere, you need to be setting Auth-Type Local,  in the user's
attributes.
