Hi, I'm trying to replace GDM with a smart card reader login screen ACDM. The software that came with the smart card reader doesn't work well on Linux. I'm thinking of hacking the configuration files manually to get things to work.
In my workplace, I'm tasked with setting up a trial deployment with SLED and SLES at a rather big organization. They want to test whether their applications can run well on Linux; they are deliberating between Vista and Linux (notably SLED) as workstation replacements.
One of their requirements is to use a smart card as the third authentication factor for users to login. Therefore, the normal GDM login screen that we see with default SLED/SLES/openSUSE need to be replaced with the display manager for the smart card reader.
Why? GDM supports full pam conversations to read smart cards in 10.3 and it should be able to detect when usb smart card readers are plugged in and reset the login screen. If you need this for SLED 10 SP1, we have done some test packages, please contact Novell. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
