GDM 3.14 and Fingerprint-gui authentication

I've installed fingerprint-gui according to the following instructions:-

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fingerprint-gui

The sudo works nicely but I can't get it to work with GDM 3.14. Looking in /etc/pam.d there's a GDM file called gdm-fingerprint. I've tried changing the fprintd lines:-

auth     required  pam_fprintd.so
password required  pam_fprintd.so

to

auth     required  pam_fingerprint-gui.so
password required  pam_fingerprint-gui.so

restarting the computer and logging in but it didn't work. Any ideas please?

Re: GDM 3.14 and Fingerprint-gui authentication

Sorry, I can't help you out cause I have the same problem. In GDM 3.14 there are lots of gdm-* files, but no gdm file like the wiki says to modify:
etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin
etc/pam.d/gdm-fingerprint
etc/pam.d/gdm-launch-environment
etc/pam.d/gdm-password
etc/pam.d/gdm-pin
etc/pam.d/gdm-smartcard

Tried adding it to both gdm-fingerprint and gdm-password, but it doesn't seem to work.

Re: GDM 3.14 and Fingerprint-gui authentication

Have it working to unlock the user account thus far, but not with logging in. This is my gdm-fingerprint config:

auth     required  pam_tally.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/faillog
auth     required  pam_shells.sowith lock and unlockwith lock and unlock
auth     requisite pam_nologin.so
auth     required  pam_env.so
auth     optional  pam_permit.so
auth 	 required  pam_fprintd.so
account  include   system-local-login

password required  pam_fprintd.so
password optional  pam_permit.so

session  optional  pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session  include   system-local-login

and I also modified gdm-password in the same folder:

auth	 sufficient  pam_fingerprint-gui.so
auth     include   system-local-login
auth     optional  pam_gnome_keyring.so

account  include   system-local-login

password include   system-local-login
password optional  pam_gnome_keyring.so use_authtok

session  optional  pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session  include   system-local-login
session  optional  pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

If I figure more out, I'll be sure to update.

Re: GDM 3.14 and Fingerprint-gui authentication

Hi guys, I know this is old, but I've just updated to 3.16 and fingerprint GDM login and unlock broke again. Have anyone gotten it to work on 3.16?
