I don't think there have been any changes, if you use XNV gate
from Oracle everything should still work as described in the
presentation I referenced, have a look at it, it even provides
links to the sdtlogin implementation.

There are no pam files in Illumos, it only has a single static
/etc/pam.conf, see
http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/lib/libpam/pam.conf
So you either need to patch the PAM service names lightdm uses
and try to re-use the ones gdm uses or adapt pam.conf. The latter
would be a problem if you intended to create an IPS package of
lightdm, /etc/pam.conf is delivered by SUNWcs and there is no
way of amending it.
