Expected results:
There shouldn't be any warnings/errors in /var/log/sssd/sssd.log


Additional info:
These seem to be false errors/warnings and can be ignored. 
2FA prompting actually works as expected.
'sssctl config-check' shows these warnings too:

Verified wih:

[root@ci-vm-10-0-154-254 ~]# rpm -qa sssd sssd-tools
sssd-tools-2.3.0-8.el8.x86_64
sssd-2.3.0-8.el8.x86_64

Verifications steps:
1) Install sssd and sssd-tools package

2) Enable 2FA prompting settings in sssd.conf

[root@ci-vm-10-0-154-254 ~]# tail -9 /etc/sssd/sssd.conf 
[prompting/2fa/sshd]
#first_prompt=Enter OTP Token Value:
single_prompt=true

[prompting/2fa]
single_prompt = True
first_prompt = Prompt1
second_prompt = Prompt2

3) change the permission and ownership to 600 and root, restart sssd service.

4) Check the static analysis of sssd.conf using # sssctl config-check command

[root@ci-vm-10-0-154-254 ~]# sssctl config-check
