A Manual Procedure

Install libpam-pkcs11 package on the system. 

Set use_mappers=pwent in /etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf

If the system is missing an "/etc/pam_pkcs11/" directory and an "/etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf", find an example to copy into place and modify accordingly at "/usr/share/doc/libpam-pkcs11/examples/pam_pkcs11.conf.example.gz".
