*sssd* now provides optional two-factor authentication The System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) now allows users with two-factor authentication enabled to authenticate to services either by using a standard password and a one-time password (OTP), or using only a standard password. Optional two-factor authentication enables administrators to configure local logins using a single factor, while other services, like access to VPN gateways, can request both factors. As a result, during the login, the user can enter either both factors, or optionally only the password. The Kerberos ticket then uses authentication indicators to list the used factors.
Description of problem: It OTP authentication is enabled in the IPA server for a user only OTP authentication is possible although the user has a long-term password which can be used for single-factor authentication as well. It would be good if SSSD can do 1FA as well if only one factor was given at the login prompt. Additionally the documentation might be enhanced to illustrate how the credentials can be promoted from 1FA to 2FA by calling 'su' or switching to the screen saver. This will be important as soon as applications become aware of Authentication Indicators see e.g. #1224057.
