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.
