PAM_AUSER is not part of the PAM spec (either XSSO[1] or the original 
Sun RFC[2]) and OpenSSH does not currently use it.

The link you posted suggests that Sun have modified the sshd that ships 
with Solaris to use it for some auth methods, but you would need to ask 
Sun about that.

usually comes from bad judgement.
