sssd.conf and /var/lib/sss/db/config.ldb
by Daniel Hermans
Hi,
not sure if a bug or not but a quick warning that hopefully may save someone some time!
We use puppet to install sssd based on a condition. we:
- yum install -y sssd
- authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --enablelocauthorize --enableldap --enableldapauth --enablemkhomedir --enablecachecreds --update ( to setup PAM and nsswitch - not sure if ALL of these are necessary? )
- copy over our private config ( as you can't do all of the config with authconfig that i can see? )
This didn't work - intermittently sssd was using a 'stale' config. After much headbutting issue was twofold:
- sssd is started and activated by the authconfig command, this creates config.ldb and cache_default.ldb
- puppet writes the config file immediately and sssd restarted
- sssd compares modification time of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf with /var/lib/sss/db/config.ldb and, because the times are the same ( written in the same minute ), IT IGNORES the new config file
Solution:
- add a '--nostart' to the authconfig to stop the initial start, this will prevent creation of the cache. Copy over the config and then start/enable ( which will create the cache ).
Not sure if related but there is a TODO in the code around this area (src/confdb/confdb_setup.c)
ret = sss_ini_get_mtime(init_data, sizeof(timestr), timestr);
if (ret <= 0 || ret >= (int)sizeof(timestr)) {
DEBUG(SSSDBG_FATAL_FAILURE,
"Failed to convert time_t to string ??\n");
ret = errno ? errno : EFAULT;
}
/* FIXME: Determine if the conf file or any snippet has changed
* since we last updated the confdb or if some snippet was
* added or removed.

Problem mixed provider
by Michael Wandel
Hey,
I want to setup the following scenario.
- the nss will be used from the local source (/etc/passwd, /etc/group)
- the pam authentication will come from ldap that will exist on an
Windows AD server
the OS is an centos 7.2.
the actual test setup gives me some errors that i did not understand

Windows 10 prefers NTLMSSP to KRB5
by johnnykimble＠gmail.com
Hi all,
I've posted a thread about this on the Samba mailing list and been redirected to the SSSD experts here (see https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2016-November/204371.html)
I'm using a Samba file server as a domain member in a Windows 2012 AD domain. Everything works correctly as a pre-Windows 10 user (8.1 and 7), with authentication of domain users being handled by SSSD, as well as resolution of the SIDs on the Samba share. However, when Windows 10 connects to the Samba share, it presents (or selects) only 1 GSS-API mechanism, NTLMSSP.
My preference for SSSD over Winbind was because I don't need to support NTLM and prefer the most secure KRB5.
Is it possible to configure SSSD (if indeed it's SSSDs responsibility...) so that NTLMSSP is not presented as a GSS-API mechanism? Any ideas why Windows 10 would be behaving in what looks to be a less secure fashion to previous Windows versions?
Many thanks,
JK

special sssd use, id_provider=proxy, auth_provider=ldap

Announcing SSSD 1.14.2
by Jakub Hrozek
=== SSSD 1.14.2 ===
The SSSD team is proud to announce the release of version 1.14.2 of
the System Security Services Daemon.
As always, the source is available from https://fedorahosted.org/sssd
RPM packages will be made available for Fedora shortly.
== Feedback ==
Please provide comments, bugs and other feedback via the sssd-devel
or sssd-users mailing lists:
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-devel
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-users
== Highlights ==
* Several more regressions caused by cache refactoring to use qualified names internally were fixed, including a regression that prevented the krb5_map_user option from working correctly.
* A regression when logging in with a smart card using the GDM login manager was fixed
* SSSD now removes the internal timestamp on startup cache when the persistent cache is removed. This enables admins to follow their existing workflow of just removing the persistent cache and start from a fresh slate
* Several fixes to the sssd-secrets responder are present in this release
* A bug in the autofs responder that prevented automounter maps from being returned when sssd_be was offline was fixed
* A similar bug in the NSS responder that prevented netgroups from being returned when sssd_be was offline was fixed
* Disabling the netlink integration can now be done with a new option disable_netlink. Previously, the netlink integration could be disabled with a sssd command line switch, which is being deprecated in this release.
* The internal watchdog no longer kills sssd processes in case time shifts during sssd runtime
* The fail over code is able to cope with concurrent SRV resolution requests better in this release
* The proxy provider gained a new option proxy_max_children that allows the administrator to control the maximum number of child helper processes that authenticate users with auth_provider=proxy
* The InfoPipe D-Bus responder exports the UUIDs of user and group objects through a uniqueID property
== Packaging Changes ==
* The private pipe directory permissions were changed from 0700 to 0750. The restrictive permissions we causing SELinux dac_override denials
* The Python packages for python2 were renamed from python-package to python2-package with backwards-compatible Provides and Obsoletes
* The sssd-common subpackage contains a new manual page sssd-secrets(5)
* The sssd-tools subpackage explicitly Requires /sbin/service on platforms that don't support systemd in order to be able to restart sssd from the sssctl tool
== Documentation Changes ==
* The kill_service option that was no longer useful after we moved from in-process pings to watchdog was removed
* The --disable-netlink sssd(8) command-line option was removed in favor of [sssd] section option disable_netlink
* The proxy_max_children option was added. Please see the highlights section for more details.
* The sssd-secrets responder gained a man page in this release.
* Two new options containers_nest_level and max_secrets options were added to the sssd-secrets responder. The former allows the administrator to configure the maximum nesting level of secrets containers, the latter allows the administrator to configure the maximum number of secrets that can be stored. Please note that both option apply to the local secrets provider only.
* The sssd-ldap man page didn't specify different default for user and group name LDAP attribute default for the AD provider. This documentation bug was fixed.

1.14.2 insists on using StartTLS
by Michael Ströder
HI!
With sssd-ldap I always prefer to use LDAPS for encrypted LDAP connections
especially because I can seamlessly mix it with LDAPI (for accessing local slapd
replica).
This works with 1.13.x but not with 1.14.2.
Although the domain debug log shows
Option ldap_id_use_start_tls is FALSE
the syslog shows:
sssd[be[AE-DIR]]: Could not start TLS encryption. unknown error
Switching sssd.conf to use StartTLS everything works (CA cert ok etc.) but
that's not what I want (because LDAPI precludes using StartTLS).
Ciao, Michael.

Issue with SSSD in a Parent and child domain configuration
by downloader009＠gmail.com
Hi,
I have a domain "example.com" which has several child domains "abc.example.com", "def.example.com", "ghi.example.com".
I have joined my CentOS 6.8 server to the domain "example.com" using adcli and my sssd version is sssd-1.13.3-22
Here is my sssd.conf:
====================== BEGIN =======================
[sssd]
services = nss, pam, ssh
config_file_version = 2
domains = example.com
[pam]
pam_id_timeout = 20
[domain/example.com]
id_provider = ad
auth_provider = ad
ldap_id_mapping = true
cache_credentials = true
override_homedir = /home/%u
subdomain_enumerate = all
krb5_auth_timeout = 20
[nss]
override_shell = /bin/bash
======================== END =========================
I have user1 in example.com and user2 in abc.example.com
when I run "getent passwd user1" I get the expected output.
user1:*:123456789:987654321:User 1:/home/user1:/bin/bash
But when I run "getent passwd user2", I do not get any output.
And when I run "getent passwd user2(a)abc.example.com", I get the output as follows;
user2@abc.infores.com:*:123456780:987654321:User 2:/home/user2:/bin/bash
I would like to use only the username (without the child domain name suffix) for all purposes (login/id command/getent command etc).
How can I get the getent output for the IDs in the child domain to be the same as the getent output for IDs in the parent domain?
I have read the man pages and also tried the "use_fully_qualified_names = false" option. It didn't help the child domain IDs
Thanks in advance,
