Apparently this is a problem of resolvconf generating /etc/\
resolv.conf at boot time. If I replace it by a static file, then
the problem is gone.
Question is, how can I tell systemd to wait for resolv.conf?
Is there some timeout in the backend I could adjust? Does it
wait for the network at all?
Every helpful comment is highly appreciated

yubikey-based pkinit stopped working switching from sssd 1.15.2/Ubuntu 16.04 auf sssd 1.16.1/Ubuntu 18.04
by tallinn1960＠yahoo.de
My client has a working setup of sssd/kerberos/ldap utilizing yubikeys and pkinit as the login mechanism, based on sssd 1.15.2 and Ubuntu 16.04.
My client wants to advance from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. A test installation of the latter with the corresponding sssd-version 1.16.1 does not allow yubikey-based login, although both kinit and p11_child do see the yubikey and the certificate on it. Kinit with yubikey does work.
Analysis of log gives that krb5_child behavior has changed. The function answer_pkinit is called with kr->pd->cmd set to SSS_PAM_AUTHENTICATE and kr->pd->authtok set to SSS_AUTHTOK_TYPE_SC_PIN in 1.15.2, but with kr->pd->cmd set to SSS_PAM_PREAUTH and kr->pd->authtok set to 0 in 1.16.1, causing the function to skip all pkinit/smarcard-related prompting and processing.
Both installations are using the same sssd.conf,krb5.conf etc.
How shall we fix this?

Cannot authenticate user from parent domain in a child-domain joined server
by Chris J
Hi all,
I'm having problems having sssd authenticate a user in a parent domain
in the same
forest with SSSD. In brief, it's an Ubuntu 18.04 box with sssd 1.16.1:
the box was
joined to the domain 'development.cseserve.com' with 'realm join'. Users
in the
that domain can authenticate successfully, but users in the parent
domain
cseserve.com cannot.
After some reading, I found the sssctl command, and that the sssd.conf
file needed
a tweak to add 'ifp' to the list of services, which gave access to the
user-checks. Configuration file and output of various sssctl checks is
at the bottom of this email.
If I attempt authenticate as user in cseserv.com, I get:
root@hs-svn-02:/var/log/sssd# sssctl user-checks
chris.johnson(a)cseserv.com -a auth
user: chris.johnson(a)cseserv.com
action: auth
service: system-auth
SSSD nss user lookup result:
- user name: chris.johnson(a)cseserv.com
- user id: 715601141
- group id: 715601141
- gecos: Chris Johnson
- home directory: /home/chris.johnson(a)cseserv.com
- shell: /bin/bash
SSSD InfoPipe user lookup result:

testing pam_authenticate
Password:
pam_authenticate for user [chris.johnson(a)cseserv.com]: Authentication
failure
PAM Environment:
- no env -
root@hs-svn-02:/var/log/sssd#
Now in /var/log/syslog, when I tail -f during sssctl user-checks, I get
the error:
Dec 11 10:59:20 hs-svn-02 [sssd[krb5_child[20446]]]: Server not found
in Kerberos database
Dec 11 10:59:20 hs-svn-02 [sssd[krb5_child[20446]]]: Server not found
in Kerberos database
I can't see any other pertinent errors in log files, but I'm happy to
provide more
if I know what to send over :-)
This error does not occur for a user in the development.cseserv.com
domain, which
completes successfully:
[...deleted the preamble...]
testing pam_authenticate
Password:
pam_authenticate for user [cjohnson(a)development.cseserve.com]: Success
PAM Environment:
- KRB5CCNAME=FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_376801009_vS8U1c
I've tried various things based on various searches, including creating
a /etc/krb5.conf
file to specify encryption protocols, and after a restart this did not
change
the behaviour:
[libdefaults]
allow_weak_crypto = true
default_tgs_enctypes = arcfour-hmac-md5 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
default_tkt_enctypes = arcfour-hmac-md5 des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5
rdns=false
dns_lookup_kdc = true
Additionally I've tried explicitly declaring the cseserv domain as a
trusted domain in sssd.conf (based on
https://docs.pagure.org/SSSD.sssd/users/ad_provider.html#etc-sssd-sssd-conf),
and this failed as well:
[sssd]
domains = development.cseserv.com, cseserv.com
{...rest unchanged...}
[domain/development.cseserve.com/cseserve.com]
ad_server = hs-dc-01.cseserve.com
What obvious thing am I missing? From what I'm reading, this should
work.
Regards,
Chris

Can I have sssd manage known_hosts with LDAP?
by George Diamantopoulos
Hello all,
I've been trying (and failing) to configure sssd to use LDAP to retrieve
hosts' public SSH keys. I'd like to ask if this is possible with LDAP at
all, or this feature is only supported with FreeIPA.
If yes, what search filter does sssd use to lookup keys in LDAP? I'm using
the sshPublicKey attribute for both people and machines in my LDAP schema,
but I can't figure out what attribute is checked to determine the hostname.
User ssh public key retrieval works fine in my configuration. I'm using
sssd 1.15 which ships with debian stretch.
Thanks!
BR,
George

sssd AD authentication working; sssd autofs against LDAP / rfc2307bis not working...
by Spike White
Sssd experts,
This is all on RHEL7.
I have sssd properly authenticating against AD for my multi-domain forest.
All good – even cross-domain auth (as long as I don’t use tokengroups.)
Our company’s AD implementation is RFC2307bis schema-extended.
Now – for complicated reasons – I’m told I need to get nis automaps and nis
netgroups in AD and also working on the clients (via sssd) also.
As a first testing step, I’ve stood up an openLDAP server on another RHEL7
server. And schema extended it with RFC 2307 bis.
http://bubblesorted.raab.link/content/replace-nis-rfc2307-rfc2307bis-sche...
I added an initial automap.
When I query via ldapsearch, all looks good:
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# ldapsearch -LLL -x -H ldap://
austgcore17.us.example.com -b 'ou=automount,ou=admin,dc=itzgeek,dc=local'
-s sub -D 'cn=ldapadm,dc=itzgeek,dc=local' -w ldppassword
'objectClass=automountMap'
dn: automountMapName=auto.master,ou=automount,ou=admin,dc=itzgeek,dc=local
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
automountMapName: auto.master
dn: automountMapName=auto.home,ou=automount,ou=admin,dc=itzgeek,dc=local
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
automountMapName: auto.home
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# ldapsearch -LLL -x -H ldap://
austgcore17.us.example.com -b 'ou=automount,ou=admin,dc=itzgeek,dc=local'
-s sub -D 'cn=ldapadm,dc=itzgeek,dc=local' -w ldppassword
'objectClass=automount'
dn:
automountKey=/home2,automountMapName=auto.master,ou=automount,ou=admin,dc=
itzgeek,dc=local
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountKey: /home2
automountInformation:
ldap:automountMapName=auto.home,ou=automount,ou=admin,dc
=itzgeek,dc=local --timeout=60 --ghost
dn:
automountKey=/,automountMapName=auto.home,ou=automount,ou=admin,dc=itzgeek

ize=8192 austgcore17.us.example.com:/export/&
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]#
Next, the sssd client configuration.
In my good sssd client’s sssd.conf file, I added “autofs” to my services
line and added an “autofs” section. That is, I have changed my
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf file as so:
[sssd]
…
services = nss,pam,autofs
…
[autofs]
debug_level = 9
autofs_provider = ldap
ldap_uri= ldap://austgcore17.us.example.com
ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
ldap_default_bind_dn = cn=ldapadm,dc=itzgeek,dc=local
ldap_default_authtok = ldppassword
ldap_autofs_search_base = ou=automount,ou=admin,dc=itzgeek,dc=local
ldap_autofs_map_object_class = automountMap
ldap_autofs_map_name = automountMapName
ldap_autofs_entry_object_class = automount
ldap_autofs_entry_key = automountKey
ldap_autofs_entry_value = automountInformation
[nss]
debug_level = 9
I appended sss to automount line in /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
automount: files sss
Yet, when I try to restart autofs service it (eventually) times out:
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# systemctl restart sssd
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# systemctl restart autofs
Job for autofs.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See
"systemctl status autofs.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Journalctl –xe reports this:

What is wrong? BTW, for now – I don’t care about a GSSAPI SASL LDAP
binding; a simple binding is what I want.
BTW, I have not modified the /etc/autofs.conf file. I considered this, but
it seems that if I did – it’d be bypassing nss / sssd. Also, I’d have
another SASL creds hanging out there that’d I’d have to periodically rotate
on all clients, instead of relying on SSSD’s machine account that’s
auto-rotated every 30 days.

filter out disabled ipa user
by Stijn De Weirdt
hi all,
we are using ipa as id_provider/access_provider/auth_provider for a domain, and we want to somehow completely hide users that are disabled in ipa. for now, disabled users are still known on the hosts (eg "getent passwd userxyz" works and gives the correct userid). we would like that eg "getent passwd userxyz" returns nothing (in particular we want that that userid can't start any new process anymore, and that the nfs mounts show that files the belong to the disabled user show up as owned by nobody etc etc.
is there any way to filter these users? perhaps some config setting i overlooked, or some ldap filter i can use?
many thanks,
stijn

Failed gssapi-with-mic
by Sergei Gerasenko
Hi,
I've run into a dead end debugging a case of passwordless authentication between two IPA'd hosts. Running `sshd -p 5000 -d` on the receiving host (let's call it HOST_B), I see this:
```
Postponed gssapi-with-mic for postgres from x.x.x.x port 57607 ssh2 [preauth]
debug1: Received some client credentials
debug1: ssh_gssapi_k5login_exists: Checking existence of file /home/USER/.k5login
Failed gssapi-with-mic for postgres from x.x.x.x port 57607 ssh2
```
The client then gets an interactive password prompt. Here are some facts and things I've tried:
* If I put the user into `.k5login` on the receiving host and it works.
* The receiving host is correctly enrolled into IPA. I can ssh from it to other hosts using GSSAPI.
* I can issue `kvno host/HOST_B` on the connecting host and I get a service ticket.
* It looks like all this happens before any pam stuff kicks in (?). So I'm ruling PAM issues out.
* No errors in the logs of the KDCs.
* The ticket from the connecting host is not expired.
* The sssd version is 1.16.0.
* Turning up the debugging in sssd with `debug_level = 7` for the domain section doesn't reveal anything obvious.
What else could I check?
Thanks for any ideas,
SG

Mail problems with new submissions to sssd-users list?
by Spike White
Is there any problem with new email messages going to to this sssd-users
mailing list?
I sent an email 6 days ago and again re-submitted it 4 days ago, about
sssd auth against AD working; sssd autofs against LDAP / rfc2307bis
not working.
to date, I have not seen it appear in this sssd-users mailbox yet. I'm
flummoxed on the problem and need help from people more knowledgeable than
me.
The mail message wasn't in violation of any mailing list policies (wasn't
excessively long, etc). The above subject line might be slightly long, but
I don't think that'd be a problem.
I realize these sssd-user mailing list maintainers are frequently out for
2-3 days, due to their job roles, but I've seen other email responses on
this mailing list since then.

Access alternative yubikey slots
by Orion Poplawski
I configured a YubiKey on Windows using the YubiKey minidriver with the
following certificates:
- my "orion" certificate - went into slot 9a PIV Auth
- A MacOS keychain cert per their docs - when into slot 9d Key Management
- Another auth certificate for "orion-admin" - went into slot 82
I'm able to authenticate on Windows as either orion or orion-admin, but on
Linux with sssd it does not see the orion-admin certificate. What needs to
happen to support this?
Thanks!
