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.

Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
*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 Sumit Bose 2016-04-11 09:21:41 UTC 
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.
