Thanks...

Novell SLES 9 is the OS installed in our servers. As a security officer,
I try to implement the Common Criteria EAL4+ procedure
(http://www.bsi.bund.de/zertifiz/zert/reporte/0256b.pdf and
http://www.bsi.bund.de/zertifiz/zert/reporte/0256a.pdf) in these
servers. It is necessary the use of audit program on the servers. They
recommend the combination of PAM_LAUS and AUDIT. The system managers use
the RSA authentication against the servers.

You want to modify sshd so that RSAAuthentication is done via PAM calls?
If so that would not be easy and would require modification to the PAM
implementation as well as sshd.  See:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/pam-list/2005-October/msg00069.html

Anyway, that only explains what you want to do and not why you want to
do it.  What advantage over sshd's native authentication would you get?
