Pluggable authentication modules are a common framework for authentication and security. Both of Red Hat Enterprise Linux's single sign-on methods — Kerberos and smart cards — depend on underlying PAM configuration.

For more information on Pluggable Authentication Modules, see the corresponding chapter in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Managing Single Sign-On and Smart Cards guide.
