Was this tested as well? It's not clear to me from the comments above:

Title:
  Unable to authenticate with smartcard: gnome-shell throws on unhandled
  promise rejection

Status in GNOME Shell:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Starting from gnome-shell version 46.0, which is available in noble, 
logging in to the
     Ubuntu system with smart card does not work.

   * Only workaround is to downgrade gnome-shell to a version 45.0

   * Login problem is caused by two seperate issues, one caused by the bug in 
the upstream [1],
     second is related to ubuntu specific code added as part of patch:
     gdm-util-Figure-out-default-service-from-service-definiti.patch

   * Upstream issue has been alraedy fixed with [2], issue was caused by feature
     which was checking conflicting sessions during login.

   * To fix login problem, upstream patch needs to be backported as well as
     ubuntu specific code fixed

  [Test Plan]

   * To reproduce an issue, smart card (with at least self signed
  certificate) is required.

   * The simplest steps to reproduce the problem:
     1. Create user "test"
     2. Configure sssd.conf:
       root@rmalz:/etc/sssd# cat sssd.conf
       [sssd]
       services = pam
       enable_files_domain = True
       certificate_verification = no_verification

       [certmap/implicit_files/test]
       matchrule = <SUBJECT>.*

       [pam]
       pam_cert_auth = True
     3. Enable smart card login:
     pam-auth-update --disable sss-smart-card-required --enable 
sss-smart-card-optional

   * With these settings, login "test" user. Two problems will occurr.
     First, gnome-shell will not prompt for a smart card PIN and will continue 
to ask for password.
     This is caused by incorrect detection of default auth service, issue 
introduced with:
     gdm-util-Figure-out-default-service-from-service-definiti.patch

     Second, if first problem is fixed, login screen will freeze. This issue is 
caused by upstream
     bug [1].

   * Ensure that other login/lockscreen options are still working as expected
     following the GDM test plan:
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/GDM

  [Where problems could occur]

   * Upstream patch is changing behavior of finding conflicting
  sessions, possible risk of regression for non smart card cases

   * There is additional patch [3], introduced as part of fix for [1]. It seems 
that this patch is fixing presentation issue
     which is different from initial login problem and no part of this SRU.

   * Patches for both [2] and 
gdm-util-Figure-out-default-service-from-service-definiti.patch have been 
tested locally, allowing
     to login without issues.

   * Original case description:
  Upstream report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7526

  Opening as part of response to support ticket.

  After boot, GDM does not prompt for smartcard authentication
  correctly. It is possible to strike Esc and get GDM to prompt for a
  username and a smartcard PIN from the initial locked-out state, but
  this does not start a new desktop session and instead hangs. Striking
  Esc allows for the login to be attempted again, but with the same
  results.

  Syslog entries include unhandled promise rejections from the
  onSessionOpened event in loginDialog, and perhaps more importantly
  also from the user verification stack that is used to create the
  initial authentication options prompt (stack traces of the syslog
  entries attached).

  Affects GDM 46.0-2ubuntu1 in Noble.

  To reproduce, configure smartcard auth for a network user on a new
  Noble install and try to sign in.
