Description
I noticed in https://github.com/ubuntu/authd/pull/599#discussion_r1831242321 that we might want to consider the impact of changes to the PAM module on more apps than just SSH and GDM.
Lets document somewhere which PAM apps we explicitly support, and which other PAM apps might work as well (without promising support), to make both our lives easier when designing and testing changes like the PR linked above and to make it clear to users what they can expect.
Maybe https://github.com/ubuntu/authd/wiki/01---Get-started-with-authd is a good place for that.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked PR discussion and the suggested wiki page, 01---Get-started-with-authd. Identify which PAM applications are explicitly supported and which may work without a support promise, including the SSH and GDM cases mentioned. Done means the documentation clearly records those categories and sets user expectations.
