In many enterprise circles sso makes things a lot easier both for the
employees and the administrators which I am sure many of you will agree. So
authenticating against an Active Directory/LDAP server is commonly used. So
personally I find pam useful, and powerful. But I can also say that it is
too complicated, hard to get the configuration right, very easy to break
your system while fiddling with it, and could have been implement in a
better way. Nevertheless it is better than any systemd product ;)
