Hi Andreas, Thank you for the assistance with this SRU.
I've verified that the package available in -proposed indeed addresses the issue as expected. Before upgrading it, I was running SSSD 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.3 fa...@fabiomirmar.net@jammy-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy sssd | grep Installed Installed: 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.3 And when I removed the smartcard and tried to run sudo commands, it would fallbabck to password based authentication: fa...@fabiomirmar.net@jammy-desktop:~$ sudo -i Please insert smart card [sudo] password for fa...@fabiomirmar.net: root@jammy-desktop:~# After enabling -proposed and upgrading, I'm now running 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.4: fa...@fabiomirmar.net@jammy-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy sssd sssd: Installed: 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.4 Candidate: 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.4 Version table: *** 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.4 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.3+sf395104v20240916b1 500 500 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mruffell/sf395104-test/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.3 500 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main amd64 Packages 2.6.3-1ubuntu3 500 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages fa...@fabiomirmar.net@jammy-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy sssd | grep Installed Installed: 2.6.3-1ubuntu3.4 And now it no longer fallback to password based authentication, and wait for the user to insert the smartcard to proceed with the authentication: fa...@fabiomirmar.net@jammy-desktop:~$ sudo -i Please insert smart card Please (re)insert (different) Smartcard Please (re)insert (different) Smartcard Besides this specific tests, I also did some basic tests to make sure it continues to work as expected. I've tested sudo scenario + switch user through gnome + locking and unlocking the screen + rebooting and authenticating with GDM + login in the serial console. In all these scenarios it works as expected (authentication succeeds when the smartcard is connected, and it fails prompting for a smartcard when it is disconnected, and doesn't fallback to password-based). I'm not marking as verification-done as I don't know if we need to address second dep8 test before doing so.
