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.

       pam_response_filter (integer)
           A comma separated list of strings which allows to remove (filter) data sent by the PAM responder to pam_sss PAM module. There are different kind of responses sent to pam_sss e.g. messages displayed to the user or
           environment variables which should be set by pam_sss.

           While messages already can be controlled with the help of the pam_verbosity option this option allows to filter out other kind of responses as well.

           Currently the following filters are supported:

           ENV
               Do not send any environment variables to any service.

           ENV:var_name
               Do not send environment variable var_name to any service.

           ENV:var_name:service
               Do not send environment variable var_name to service.

           Default: not set

           Example: ENV:KRB5CCNAME:sudo-i
