CentOS 7 SSH and 2FA (ESET Secure Authentication)

Question

I am stuck at getting two factor-authentication in CentOS 7 to work; specifically the authentication via SSH and OTP.

I would very much appreciate it if someone could assist me with this. :)

Here is a log of an attempt to login via SSH with the account "[email protected]":

sshd[3652]: pam_radius_auth: Got user name [email protected]
sshd[3652]: pam_radius_auth: ignore last_pass, force_prompt set
sshd[3652]: pam_radius_auth: Sending RADIUS request code 1
sshd[3652]: pam_radius_auth: DEBUG: getservbyname(radius, udp) returned 0x7fa56490e1c0.
sshd[3652]: pam_radius_auth: Got RADIUS response code 11
sshd[3652]: pam_radius_auth: authentication failed
sshd[3652]: pam_sepermit(sshd:auth): Parsing config file: /etc/security/sepermit.conf
sshd[3652]: pam_sepermit(sshd:auth): Enforcing mode, access will be allowed on match
sshd[3652]: pam_sepermit(sshd:auth): sepermit_match returned: -1
sshd[3652]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): authentication success; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=10.0.0.31 [email protected]
sshd[3652]: Failed password for [email protected] from 10.0.0.31 port 57962 ssh2
sshd[3652]: Connection closed by 10.0.0.31 [preauth]

Below follow Configuration- and Setup-Infos

The test-environment is given by my companys infrastructure; we use mainly Windows-Clients and about the same share of Windows- and Linux-Servers.

Win-Server: Windows Server 2016 x64

• Active Directory: Test.local
• ESET Secure Authentication (RADIUS Server)
  • Shared Secret with Client: test345
  • Option "Use Access-Challenge feature of RADIUS" is enabled

Linux-Client/Server: CentOS 7 x64

• joined Domain Test.local via realm
• Local Login with AD-Accounts and OTP-2FA at all times possible
• SSH Login with any Account only possible if pam_radius_auth.so not set to required in /etc/pam.d/sshd (which means no 2FA)

---

Configuration of the Linux-Client/Server:

• RADIUS-Server and Shared-Secret are added in /etc/raddb/server
• pam_radius_auth.so is in /usr/lib64/security/
• auth required pam_radius_auth.so added to /etc/pam.d/sshd and /etc/pam.d/login
