Hi All,

I have been trying to login to my Ubuntu (v 20.04) machine which is joined to AD server (Windows Server 2k16). And for log-in to the user account I am having a .CER certificate (certficate without private key) via Smartcard attached to the Ubuntu Machine. When I try this, it prompts for PIN but fails even when the correct PIN is provided.

I wanted to ask, if the process how I am implementing is recommended. Or if I am missing out something for the process mentioned above.

Please guide.

Thanks in advance,
Nishant S
