Ironically, the original implementation we did put the code in
pam_sm_acct_mgmt() (ie. the right place), but there was some
reason why it got moved into pam_sm_authenticate(). It may have
had something to do with the fact that the Authorization API,
confusingly, required a password.
Sounds like the SessionCreate() API you mention should be used in
pam_sm_acct_mgmt() in pam_securityserver; seems to me that it
would better to fix pam_securityserver rather than propgate
proprietary Apple API into OpenSSH.
