Dear Maintainer,

Copy of Ubuntu bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam-pkcs11/+bug/1650366
Problem:

PAM configuration is managed using pam-auth-update.
However, pam-pkcs11 does not provide the necessary description file below /usr/share/pam-configs.
Hence, it must be added manually to the pam configuration.
Resolution:

pam-pkcs11 should supply a description file in /usr/share/pam-configs similar to the one attached.

===================

Name: PKCS11 Smartcard Authentication
Default: yes
Priority: 128
Auth-Type: Primary
Auth:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_pkcs11.so
Auth-Initial:
	[success=end default=ignore]	pam_pkcs11.so

===================

Regards,
Joachim


I also forwarded the problem upstream at
https://github.com/OpenSC/pam_pkcs11/issues/49 but Frank closed it as
Ubuntu specific.

Maybe the next Debian package should include this configration file?
