Hi,

I assume you are using ssh and in your sshd configuration you have both
`PasswordAuthentication' and `KbdInteractiveAuthentication` (formerly
known as `ChallengeResponseAuthentication`) enabled. What you see is the
switch from `KbdInteractiveAuthentication`, which is needed to get
SSSD's special prompting, to `PasswordAuthentication` where the ssh
client is just asking for a password without using the PAM prompts from
the server side.

If you set `PasswordAuthentication no` in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config on
the server side you won't see the password anymore.

If you want to change how often the ssh client is asking for credentials
you have to use the `NumberOfPasswordPrompts` option on the client side
by either using it directly e.g.

    ssh -o NumberOfPasswordPrompts=4 -l myuser remotehost

or by adding it to /etc/ssh/ssh_config on all clients which should not
use the default of '3' prompts.

HTH

bye,
Sumit
