Title:
  Unlocking with greeter fails to properly renew kerberos tickets with
  pam-krb5

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Aborted PAM authentications may leave artifacts behind. This is due to 
LightDM not correctly calling pam_end on these.
  Authenticating via a LightDM greeter does not refresh PAM credentials.

  [Test Case]
  1. Lock screen using LightDM greeter
  2. Enter password to return to session
  Expected result:
  Screen is unlocked, credentials are refreshed.
  Observed result:
  Screen is unlocked, artifacts are left behind from PAM authentication, 
credentials not refreshed.

  [Regression Potential]
  Since this change affects the PAM handling other PAM modules might 
potentially have a change in behaviour. This seems low risk as both changes are 
correct behaviour over the previously incorrect behaviour.

  I am using the pam-krb5 module to log into a Kerberos realm using
  lightdm.  This works the initial time I log in, when I come in through
  lightdm.  However, once I am logged in, and I lock the screen using
  light-locker, when I unlock the screen I no longer get renewed
  tickets.

  The problem seems to be this:

  -rw------- 1 me       me     504 Mar 23 08:37 krb5cc_1000_sjkfhagfg
  -rw------- 1 root   root    504 Mar 23 08:38 krb5cc_pam_lsdkjhfsdk

  So what is happening is that on the initial login, I get a valid
  ticket cache, owned by my logging-in user, and showing my UID in the
  file name.  This ticket works fine.  However, once I lock the screen
  and then unlock it, I get a ticket cache owned by root, with "_pam_"
  in the filename, and of course I can't use it because I am not logged
  in as root.

  This problem did not occur in 12.04 LTS, probably because it did not
  use light-locker.  The pam-krb5 module works in all other cases in my
  installations, so I do not believe this is any kind of problem with
  the pam_krb5 module.

  Thanks,
  Brian
