I think we're talking of a different bug here though, because in your log here pam_sss via gdm-smartcard always returns an authentication failure:
Jan 31 22:22:25 lnx-ubu-2110 gdm-smartcard]: pam_sss(gdm-smartcard:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost= user=b...@authenticate.me.uk Jan 31 22:22:25 lnx-ubu-2110 gdm-smartcard]: pam_sss(gdm-smartcard:auth): received for user b...@authenticate.me.uk: 15 (Authentication service cannot retrieve user credentials) While, in the initial description of this bug the problem was that pam_sss returned "success", but still `gdm-smartcard` was returning a failure: Dec 16 10:26:22 ubu-vm-2022 gdm-smartcard]: pam_sss(gdm-smartcard:auth): authentication success; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost= user=b...@authenticate.me.uk And this is the kind of error we're fixing here, so please in case the fix that is coming won't fix your case re-open a new bug against SSSD, because the bug we're fixing here is when: 1. pam_sss exits with success 2. gdm-smartcard still gives a permission error -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1999884 Title: gdm-smartcard not passing successful authentication to desktop at system logon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1999884/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
