Public bug reported: We set the following in /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults
[org/gnome/login-screen] enable-smartcard-authentication=true enable-fingerprint-authentication=false enable-password-authentication=false and restarted gdm. GDM says "Please insert your SmartCard or enter your usernname". When the user inserts their smartcard to login nothing happens. We expect for SmartCard authentication to start but it does not. If the cancel button is pressed then GDM looks at the card, starts the authentication process and prompts for the card PIN. The user logs in successfully. We can teach our users to hit the cancel button but that seems like a bug. Other version of GDM (eg under RHEL) recognise when a SmartCard is inserted.
