RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name: 

Describe the issue: 

ssh client checks only the first certificate on a smartcard when the card has multiple certs. If the first certificate is revoked and ocsp checking is enabled ssh to smartcard user fails eventhough the card has other certificates that are valid.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssh-5.3p1-113.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. A smartcard has a revoked certificate and a valid certificate generated by IPA
2. ssh-add -s <location of pkcs11 lib>
3. ssh -I
/usr/lib64/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so -l ipasmartcarduser5 localhost

Actual results:

Output of step 2:

[rpattath@dhcp123-129 ~]$ ssh-add -s /usr/lib64/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so
Enter passphrase for PKCS#11:
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add card: /usr/lib64/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so

Output of step 3:
Prompts for user password and not smartcard pin

Expected results:

Step 2 should add the key of the valid cert on the card to ssh-agent

step 3 should prompt for smartcard pin (by detecting the vaild certificate on the smartcard)

Suggestions for improvement: 

Additional information:

Sumit Bose let me know that this was not sshd-related. It was a bug in SSSD that is meanwhile fixed. For details, see comment #25 and #26 in BZ#1299994.

I'm closing this BZ.
