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.

Expected results:
There shouldn't be any warnings/errors in /var/log/sssd/sssd.log


Additional info:
These seem to be false errors/warnings and can be ignored. 
2FA prompting actually works as expected.
'sssctl config-check' shows these warnings too:

Verified wih:

[root@ci-vm-10-0-154-254 ~]# rpm -qa sssd sssd-tools
sssd-tools-2.3.0-8.el8.x86_64
sssd-2.3.0-8.el8.x86_64

Verifications steps:
1) Install sssd and sssd-tools package

2) Enable 2FA prompting settings in sssd.conf

[root@ci-vm-10-0-154-254 ~]# tail -9 /etc/sssd/sssd.conf 
[prompting/2fa/sshd]
#first_prompt=Enter OTP Token Value:
single_prompt=true

[prompting/2fa]
single_prompt = True
first_prompt = Prompt1
second_prompt = Prompt2

3) change the permission and ownership to 600 and root, restart sssd service.

4) Check the static analysis of sssd.conf using # sssctl config-check command

[root@ci-vm-10-0-154-254 ~]# sssctl config-check
