This section provides a brief overview of the process of logging in using a smart card.
1. When the user inserts their smart card into the smart card reader, this event is recognized by the
PAM facility, which prompts for the user's PIN.
2. The system then looks up the user's current certificates and verifies their validity. The certificate is
then mapped to the user's UID.
