During SSH login attempts, multiple search requests are sent to the server. Some of these requests return results successfully, while others fail with errors such as:
[ERROR] Invalid filter for extracting username
[ERROR] User not found: *
Observed Behavior:
- Multiple search requests are triggered during the SSH login process.
- Some requests fail with the errors mentioned above.
- SSH login still completes successfully.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Set up an ldapjs server to handle authentication requests.
- Use sssd on the client to configure LDAP-based SSH authentication.
- Attempt to SSH into the client system.
- Observe the server logs and note multiple search requests, some failing.
Expected Behavior:
All requests generated during the SSH authentication process should return valid results or no errors, assuming the configuration is correct.
