Description

On Rocky Linux VMs (and likely Alma, as well) the AADSSHLoginForLinux fails to install because the installer script (installer.sh) detects the presence of a /rocky directory on the https://packages.microsoft.com yum repo server. It attempts to use the unpopulated /rocky repo, rather than failing back to the available /rhel repository as it has done in the past.

Research direction

Start by reading installer.sh in the AADSSHLoginForLinux extension and inspect how it selects the yum repository for Rocky Linux. Verify the behavior on Rocky Linux, and likely Alma Linux, then confirm installation falls back to the available /rhel repository instead of the unpopulated /rocky repository.
