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 Alexey Tikhonov 2019-08-01 16:23:56 UTC
When I enter wrong PIN:
```
$ su certtets
PIN for test
^C
```
^^^ from user point of view everything seems to be hung.

Meantime sssd_pam & p11_child are in endless(?) loop trying to Login to (already locked) SC.

Issue seems to appear if `try_cert_auth` or `require_cert_auth` options are used.

Verified.

[root@rhel8-2 sssd]# grep localuser /etc/passwd
localuser:x:1000:1000:local user:/home/localuser:/bin/bash

[root@rhel8-2 sssd]# su - localuser -c 'su - localuser -c whoami'
PIN for sctest (MyEID): 
localuser

^^^ so it works as expected with correct pin for local user ^^^

Now to see failure:

[root@rhel8-2 sssd]# time su - localuser -c 'su - localuser -c whoami'
PIN for sctest (MyEID): 
Password: 
localuser

real	1m34.613s
user	0m0.135s
sys	0m0.064s

Took 90secs roughly to failover to password prompt.

Now before verifying I need to unlock the pin:

[root@rhel8-2 sssd]# pkcs15-tool -u --pin redhat --puk redhat --auth-id 01
Using reader with a card: SCM Microsystems Inc. SCR 3310 [CCID Interface] (53311651713564) 00 00

Now upgrading and testing:

[root@rhel8-2 sssd]# dnf -y update sssd
