Does it give you this error when you use password or password and token?
Can you please describe the flow of steps in more details?
I start browser, go here, click here, enter this, etc.

Are you using SSSD to login to servers? Is SSSD configured with IPA 
provider or you configured it for LDAP manually. There is a difference 
between LDAP and Kerberos authentication.

May be the following article will help you to understand the expectations:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System-Level_Authentication_Guide/authconfig-addl-auth.html#enable-otp



I suspect it is some combination of flags and protocols that is confusing.
