Hello,
I know this question is on the archives, but I could not find any
solution for this yet...
I am trying to authenticate a user with a smartcard. I am using
OpenSuse 11 with GDM 2.24. Everything is working, but not quite as I
would like to.
What I am trying to do is deal with insertion and removing the
smartcard. When I insert the smartcard I would like GDM to show the
PIN dialog without pressing ENTER. And if I remove, GDM should show
the Username/Password dialog again.
I like this, but PAM today gets in the way.
we're talking about
URL : ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gdm
... the thing you see while you try to log in (also fronts RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
boxes), right?
Yes and any other vendor's GDM like the Ubuntu (2.28) or Solaris. I don't know
what
the Solaris version is based on. All of thes can use PAM.
But in addition to GDM you will need to look at any screen lock programs, as you
will want to unlock with the smart card too. Do the screen lock programs have
the
same pre-PAM detection of smart cards?
for me, gdm has worked in the way Goulart wants:
on fedora since circa Fedora 8
on CentOS since at or before CentOS 5.3
the current gdm on CentOS 5 is a heavily patched 2.16.0.
the current gdm on Fedora 12 is a patched 2.28.2.
There may be other "helpers" in these distros that I have not looked for.
perhaps the patches for smart cards on one of those could be bent to work with
the GDM in OpenSuse.
Hope this helps.
