OS X custom authentication using PAM

Hi

We are working on a PAM module that triggers presentation of the authentication app. I do understand that PAM is a compatibility layer and we should've chosen Authorisation plug-ins route. Unfortunately, we inherited this codebase, and atm there it's no option for us to drop PAM. The main problem we have right now is that UI is not visible to the user above a login window after a restart. But in case of log out / log in everything works well. What can cause it? And is there is a way for us to overcome this issue somehow, or should we drop it altogether and try auth plug-in?

FYI, to those following at home, I’ll be helping Kopanja with this via another channel.
