Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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 cparg 2023-07-30 19:42:10 UTC

Description of problem:
PIN entry queried too many times. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Open a page that requires authentication with a cardos SmartCard with google-chrome. The PIN is queried way too many times. 
After manually compiling opensc 0.23 the number of PIN entries is down to only 2 times. Much better!

Actually I used git version 09e18802ac64e4365e1487b5c1f004d5b88f70d4, but 0.23 is latest release.

The problem is also described here: https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/issues/1436

Actual results:
PIN has to be entered up 9 times for one login.

Expected results:
PIN should be entered ideally only once per login. With 0.23 it is at least down to 2 times, which is much more acceptbale.

Please, give it a try with RHEL9. It should already have OpenSC 0.23.0. If you have a business requirement to use RHEL8, please contact your Red Hat support through customer portal.
