Sometime around Centos 7.5, pam auth was changed to skip pam_unix except for 
local accounts. The goal was to allow pam_sss to give multiple prompts for 
multiple factors.

This is nice in principle, but we’re having to back out. I thought sss 
maintainers and other might want to know why.

We use FreeOTP for all systems staff and some users. Two prompts work fine for 
sshd and other things where Redhat is responsible for maintenance. But it fails 
for everything else. Examples: X2Go, Xrdp, Jupyterhub, Zeppelin, anything using 
LDAP authentication. Indeed pretty much every web application or commercial 
applications that need to authenticate.

It appears that at this point, at least in our environment, it’s not practical 
to use any authentication that requires multiple prompts.
