pam_alias is a PAM module which provides a way to map user names using an arbitrary file.

For example, it can rewrite mail address- or jid-style user names to local user names.

[email protected] loclfoo 

will map the user name [email protected] to loclfoo, which will then be used in turn by the following PAM modules.

make install

Add something like this to the beginning of select PAM configs:

auth required pam_alias.so file=/etc/security/useralias 

For more details, see the pam_alias(8) manual page.
