There's a glitch in when proxy provider (or SSS_PAM_AUTHENTICATE request to be more precise) starts looping if sss is defined in proxy_pam_target pam stack and invalid password is provided during authentication. The pam child is never finished and eventually it is killed by timeout, however the requests keep going indefinitely.

Not really important to fix unless someone complains.

Thank you for taking time to submit this request for SSSD. Unfortunately this issue was not given priority and the team lacks the capacity to work on it at this time.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request I am closing the issue as wontfix.
