Bug description:
  [Impact]

  It might be desirable to have a distinct pam config file when logging
  in and when unlocking the screen. Specifically, using a fingerprint
  reader is fine for sudo or for unlocking, but you want to use your
  password when logging in, to provide a secret and be able to unlock
  the gnome-keyring for example.

  [Test Case]

  See http://askubuntu.com/questions/445131/how-do-i-enable-a-specific-
  pam-config-in-the-lockscreen

  So this feature request is about allowing for a (optional) pam config
  file for the lock-screen, distinct from the /etc/pam.d/lightdm
  currently used and shared with the greeter.

  [Regression Potential]

  An additional configuration point could allow a system to be
  misconfigured for reduced security.  The default configuration is to
  use the same PAM stack as the LightDM login process so no new
  regression is introduced without user modification.

  [Other Info]

  The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU patch was cherry-picked from Ubuntu 14.10
  where it has been in production use for a few months and appears
  stable.
