It has been brought to my attention by a UA customer that they are suffering from which seems a similar situation:
" Our only currently working SmartCard access from Linux, over SSSD, to AD, is on RHEL7. I was able to get SSH access on Ubuntu 20.04LTS, after adding "ad_gpo_access_control = permissive" in sssd.conf. Logging in locally fails (prompting for password, rather than PIN). It is also still prompting for the Password twice on all local login attempts. RHEL7 -> Ubuntu 20.04LTS (SSH) - Success Ubuntu 20.04LTS -> RHEL7 (SSH) - Success Ubuntu Desktop login (GDM or CLI) - Fail Ubuntu Desktop login via local username/pw - Success, but with 2 pw prompts.
