I'm not sure that the greeter for a graphical user session would be the
proper place for changing the default keyboard configuration. A GUI
option for the purpose might fit in some equivalent to unity-tweak-tool
or gnome-tweak-tool.

The terminal command for changing the default keyboard configuration is:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

(Optionally you can edit /etc/default/keyboard manually.)

Title:
  LightDM no configuration to set default keyboard configuration

Status in ubuntu-mate:
  Invalid
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Mate 16.10 Yakkety Yak (development branch) from 2016-09-18

  MATE doesn't give a possibility to configure default keyboard
  configuration of the login screen.

  I missed to configure correct keyboard on installation. Afterwards changed the configuration in MATE to a german layout (QWERTZ), but LightDM is still use us english layout by default. Additionally the used configuration is not visible to the user (thus may not note the missconfiguration). At least the keyboard option should be enabled by default.
  Without changing some a configuration script the layout can't be changed for all further sessions either in the Login-Screen or LightDM-GTK+Login-Tool.
