I'm not sure how..in the end, it's the service that calls pam_service to
select which PAM service configuration to use during the
conversation..there's nothing preventing you to create a completely
custom service of yours.

It would be nice to provide a configure-time option so that
distributions that ship a different display manager by default could
override the list of services sssd has compiled in.

It's not about security as much as about mapping Windows GPO logon
rights to UNIX PAM services.
