is there a way to do a bulk update of existing users? We have this issue. I can disable the pac, but that might not be a good long term solution

Brilliant. It's interesting that the docs say "As of RHEL 8.6, Kerberos in IdM requires that your IdM objects have SIDs, which are necessary for security based on Privilege Access Certificate (PAC) information.", but I had no problems with authentication on my RHEL 8.6/8.7 servers... > > > "After upgrading, krb5kdc may fail to issue TGTs to users who have not > > > had a SID assigned to their accounts ('ipa user-show user --all' will > > > not include an ipantsecurityidentifier attribute).

Absolutely--I just wanted to document what I'd found out, because there isn't a clear connection documented between the behaviour in RHEL 9.2 with MIT Kerberos 1.20 and the behaviour seen when your IPA users don't have SIDs assigned. -- Sam Morris <https://robots.org.uk/> PGP: rsa4096/CAAA AA1A CA69 A83A 892B  1855 D20B 4202 5CDA 27B9 _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- freeipa-users(a)lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to freeipa-users-leave(a)lists.fedorahosted.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/freeipa-users@lists.fedoraho...
