Neither do I have access to that LDAP (though it might be technically
possible to connect to it, this is just not a supported use case) nor do
I want to rely on the it infrastructure of my university for my
workstation.

This is exactly what I want. It seems like pam usually can do this:

But since fedora ships with a custom /etc/pam.d layout due to sssd
(which, as we discussed, cannot handle that use case), I'd like to know,
if I still (meaning with sssd in place) can apply the above mentioned
method.

Btw: kstart is a kinit replacement that allows running arbitrary
commands after getting tickets.
