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.

Description Roshni 2016-01-20 18:08:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Screen locks and smart card is removed must show a message to insert the correct smartcard

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.13.0-40.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ipa-client-install
2. sssd.conf should have the following
[pam]
pam_cert_auth = True

3. add ipa user and add the signing cert on the smartcard to the ipa user
4. gdm login using smartcard pin
5. Smartcard is removed from the reader
6. Screen locks due to inactivity or manually 


Actual results:
Locked screen prompts for ipa user password.

Expected results:
Locked screen should show a message to insert the correct smartcard and when inserted it should prompt for the smartcard pin

Comment 3 Sumit Bose 2016-06-02 09:21:07 UTC 
Please note that SSSD can only go so far as to support the Smartcard support of gdm. Since SSSD does not track the user session it cannot know which authentication method was used at login but gdm can. Afaik there is currently no gdm option to require that the screen-saver will use the same authentication method as used at the login prompt. But the functionality can roughly be achieved by disabling all authentication methods except Smartcard authentication in the gdm configuration.

This ticket will track the SSSD support of the gdm Smartcard feature.

Comment 6 Roshni 2016-09-01 17:29:22 UTC 
Sumit,

Could you provide with the testing instructions?
Comment 8 Roshni 2016-09-08 15:22:45 UTC 
Hi Sumit,

When I am testing this bug using pkcs15 cards, I do not have pam_pkcs11 installed because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367919. So I see the following

[root@dhcp129-88 ~]# authconfig --enablesmartcard --smartcardmodule=no_module --update
authconfig: Authentication module /lib64/security/pam_pkcs11.so is missing. Authentication process might not work correctly.

I also do not see a prompt to insert the smartcard in the gdm login screen, it is still prompting for ipa user password.
Comment 9 Sumit Bose 2016-09-16 16:34:03 UTC 
Please ignore the instructions from comment #7, calling authconfig with the smartcard options has too may unwanted side effects. It is easier to only set the gdm relates options directly. Nevertheless the change to smartcard-auth must be done as well.

Please comment out the line containing pam_pkcs11 in /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth and add
    auth        sufficient    pam_sss.so allow_missing_name
to the auth section in /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth directly before or after the commented out pam_pkcs11 line.

Then check /etc/dconf/db/distro.d/10-authconfig, there should be no line like "enable-smartcard-authentication=false" in the [org/gnome/login-screen]. If there is one please remove it and remove /org/gnome/login-screen/enable-smartcard-authentication from /etc/dconf/db/distro.d/locks/10-authconfig-locks as well. After that the files might look like:

/etc/dconf/db/distro.d/10-authconfig:
    [org/gnome/login-screen]
    enable-fingerprint-authentication=false
/etc/dconf/db/distro.d/locks/10-authconfig-locks:
    /org/gnome/login-screen/enable-fingerprint-authentication

If you want to enable screen-locking if the Smartcard is removed the files should look like:

/etc/dconf/db/distro.d/10-authconfig:
    [org/gnome/login-screen]
    enable-fingerprint-authentication=false
    [org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/smartcard]
    removal-action='lock-screen'
/etc/dconf/db/distro.d/locks/10-authconfig-locks:
/org/gnome/login-screen/enable-fingerprint-authentication
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/smartcard

After changing the files below /etc/dconf please call

    dconf update

and restart gdm.

Verified using the workaround mentioned in comment 9. Sumit has an authconfig patch that will fix this issue without the authconfig workaround which will go into RHEL 7.4 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1378943
