Apologies Smilie

I had a look at pam(8) manpage in the meantime... It sounds complicated, at least in portability point of view. More precisely, I don't mean than PAM is not portable. But it may be not installed on a given system, or may be installed but neither configured or even not used at all. How to know? No way, except develop my application with both PAM and getpw*, and choose the right option system by system... Smilie

NAME
pam_pkcs11 - PAM Authentication Module for PKCS#11 token libraries SYNOPSIS
pam_pkcs11.so [debug] [configfile=<configfile>] DESCRIPTION
This Linux-PAM login module allows a X.509 certificate based user login. The certificate and its dedicated private key are thereby accessed by means of an appropriate PKCS #11 module. For the verification of the users' certificates, locally stored CA certificates as well as either online or locally accessible CRLs are used. CONFIGURATION
The program that needs a PAM service should be configured in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/<servicename>. pam_pkcs11 can be used in the <auth> PAM chain. For details on how to configure PAM services, see the PAM documentation for your system. This manual does not cover PAM configuration details. The existing PAM service definitions for other applications on your system is also a good source for examples on how to configure a PAM service. FILES
