      Workaround:

      Description: The {{lab finish }} command does not reset the settings of .

      I completed the GE and then I run the finish. However, the output of the command looked suspicious:

      [student@workstation ~]$ lab finish technology-sssd
      SUCCESS Checking lab systems
      SUCCESS Setting up the SSSD exercise environment
      

      Then, I checked the actual contents of the file /etc/pam.d/password-auth on the client:

      cat /etc/pam.d/password-auth
      # Generated by authselect on Sun Aug 20 06:11:05 2023
      # Do not modify this file manually.
      
      auth        required                                     pam_env.so
      auth        required                                     pam_faildelay.so delay=2000000
      auth        [default=1 ignore=ignore success=ok]         pam_usertype.so isregular
      auth        [default=1 ignore=ignore success=ok]         pam_localuser.so
      auth        sufficient                                   pam_unix.so try_first_pass
      auth        [default=1 ignore=ignore success=ok]         pam_usertype.so isregular
      auth        sufficient                                   pam_sss.so forward_pass
      auth        required                                     pam_deny.so
      ...
      output ommited
      

      Notice that our change (try_first_pass is in the file and it's not replaced with the original nullok.
