Cisco – Pass traffic from remote access to site to site tunnel

ciscofirewallipsecvpn

I have situation where remote access ipsec client have to connect to ASA firewall to send and receive traffic using site to site tunnel on the same ASA, in the logs I am seeing packets dropped as it is sourced and destinated to the same interface.
Did any one ever tried such setup? Did it work? I see it is logical and possible

If you want to permit flows of traffic, that coming in on an interface and to be routed back out the same interface

same-security permit intra-interface

it's called hairpinning: https://community.cisco.com/t5/security-documents/hairpin-u-turn-traffic-off-an-interface-on-an-asa-running-8-3-or/ta-p/3129668
