My foolish attempt would be to build a greeter that runs the given
credentials and if they didn't work proxy out to a regular greeter.

But what are the exact requirements for the encrypted filesystems? I guess
they need exactly the cleartext password to hash it themself to the actual
encryption key, but do you have what you need present in your boot
environment? Btw: what are you doing so that the user info is already
present so early?
