Starting SSSD without root
by Tero Saarni 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hi, I'm trying to run SSSD inside docker container without root user. The container is executed in OpenShift cluster which does not allow running as root inside container. SSSD requires root and checks for this specifically. Is there any workaround for this? I believe the limitation is implemented for security reasons, in order to have most critical parts executed as root and have it drop privileges for other parts but this now completely blocks using SSSD in the above environment. -- Tero

sssd performance on large domains
by zfnoctis＠gmail.com 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi, I'm wondering if there are any plans to improve sssd performance on large active directory domains (100k+ users, 40k+ groups), or if there are settings I am not aware of that can greatly improve performance, specifically for workstation use cases. Currently if I do not set "ignore_group_members = True" in sssd.conf, logins can take upwards of 6 minutes and "sssd_be" will max the CPU for up to 20 minutes after logon, which makes it a non-starter. The reason I want to allow group members to be seen is that I want certain domain groups to be able to perform elevated actions using polkit. If I ignore group members, polkit reports that the group is empty and so no one can elevate in the graphical environment. Ultimately this means that Linux workstations are at a severe disadvantage since they cannot be bound to the domain and have the normal set of access features users and IT expect from macOS or Windows. Distributions used: Ubuntu 16.04 (sssd 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.1), Ubuntu 16.10 (sssd 1.13.4-3) and Fedora 24 (sssd-1.13.4-3.fc24). All exhibit the same problems. I've also tried "ldap_group_nesting_level = 1" without seeing any noticeable improvement with respect to performance. Putting the database on /tmp isn't viable as these are workstations that will reboot semi-frequently, and I don't believe this is an I/O bound performance issue anyways. Thanks for your time.

kcm, gssproxy and klist
by Winberg Adam 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

With KCM and gssproxy we often see a long list of credentials when doing a 'klist': [user.u@lxserv2114 ~]$ klist Ticket cache: KCM:17098:66803 Default principal: user.u@AD Valid starting Expires Service principal 01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY: 01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY: 01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY: 01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY: 01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY: 01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY: 01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY: and so on... The actual gssproxy credentials at /var/lib/gssproxy/clients/ does not correspond with this output, it only contains what could be expected - a TGT and maybe some service tickets. The ever growing 'klist' list of credentials is a problem, after a while the user can no longer get any new credentials and therefore has no access to its NFS homedir (sec=krb5). I'm guessing it's the 'max_uid_ccaches' option in sssd-kcm that prevents this. What is going on here - have we configured gssproxy/kcm wrong or is this a bug? Regards Adam

sssd: AD range retrieval fails when enumeration is enabled
by R Davies 09 Aug '21

09 Aug '21

Hi, When enumeration is enabled (required due to legacy application), and where a group has > 1500 members, and AD's MaxValRange is at the default 1500, then sssd fails to show more than 1500 group members. Group lookups are no longer accurate. A further interesting aspect is that if the sssd cache is expired (sssctl cache-expiry -E), then the correct group membership is shown until such time as enumeration is processed again (i.e. at most ldap_enumeration_refresh_timeout + memcache_timeout) src/providers/ldap/sdap.c's sdap_parse_entry() states: /* This attribute contained range values and needs more to > * be retrieved > */ > /* TODO: return the set of attributes that need additional retrieval > * For now, we'll continue below and treat it as regular values. > */ As enumeration is enabled the subsequent ASQ/deref work is never undertaken. As such sssd only ever processes the initial range retrieved members (0-1499) (NB that nested groups members are evaluated). We have looked at the relevant source code, but can't find a way to trigger Attribute Scope Queries (ASQ)/deref. Indeed, no manner of sssd configuration settings (other than disabling enumeration - which we sadly cannot do) appears to change this behaviour. Increasing MaxValRange on AD defeats the purpose of having MaxValRange. Has anyone run into this before? Or, should I raise a new issue? Many Thanks. R.

ID Views for IPA ID Views for AD users inconsistent resolution
by Louis Abel 01 Aug '21

01 Aug '21

I didn't get a response in #sssd, so I figured I'll try here at the mail list. # rpm -q sssd ipa-server sssd-1.16.0-19.el7_5.5.x86_64 ipa-server-4.5.4-10.el7_5.3.x86_64 I've been scratching my head trying to resolve this particular issue. I'm having issues with AD users where when they login, they'll get the UID/GID assigned in the ID views correctly, but only some of the time. Other times, they won't get the id view assigned to them. This is all done in the default trust view. What makes this issue even more interesting is that out of my 6 domain controllers, sometimes it'll be one server out of the six that does it, sometimes it's two. But it's never the same ones, so it's difficult to track the particular issue down. What's even more interesting is this is not occurring with some users (like my own). I have yet to see it occur with my account or even the rest of my team's accounts. One of the things I tried to do is delete the ID views of the offending users and recreate them to no avail. I put SSSD into debug mode on the IPA servers and tried to get some relevant logs and such to try and figure this out. Below is my SSSD configuration, ldb info, and debug logs (removing private information where possible). I'm trying to determine if this is either a bug within SSSD or if this is a misconfiguration on my part. $ ldbsearch -H cache_ipa.example.com.ldb name=user.name(a)ad.example.com originalADuidNumber uidNumber originalADgidNumber gidNumber asq: Unable to register control with rootdse! # record 1 dn: name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb originalADuidNumber: 55616902 originalADgidNumber: 55616902 uidNumber: 55616902 gidNumber: 55616902 $ ipa idoverrideuser-show "Default Trust View" user.name(a)ad.example.com Anchor to override: user.name(a)ad.example.com UID: 40001 GID: 40001 Home directory: /home/user.name Login shell: /bin/bash $ ldbsearch -H timestamps_ipa.example.com.ldb | less dn: name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb objectCategory: user originalModifyTimestamp: 20180823172515.0Z entryUSN: 92632390 initgrExpireTimestamp: 1535133621 lastUpdate: 1535128235 dataExpireTimestamp: 1535133635 distinguishedName: name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb ## DEBUG LOGS (Fri Aug 24 16:30:12 2018) [sssd[be[ipa.example.com]]] [sysdb_set_entry_attr] (0x0200): Entry [name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb] has set [ts_cache] attrs.

p11_child doesn't use 2nd slot if 1st slot is empy
by Assaf Morami 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

Hello everyone. I'm trying to configure smart card login of active directory users on an ubuntu machine. I'm following this guide: https://scriptech.io/linux-enable-smartcard-authentication-against-active-d… But for me the opensc library cannot talk with my card and I'm using a library that my card provider gave my. My issue right now is that `p11_child --pre --nssdb=/etc/pki/nssdb` fails to pull the certificate from my smart card. I'm able to log in with AD users and their smart cards using `kinit` and `ksu`, so I know the cards are okay. What's weird to me is that `modutil -list` shows slot 0 as empty and slot 1 as not empty, and then `p11_child --pre` doesn't try to use slot 1. Maybe p11_child thinks that if slot 0 is empty then slot 1 must be empty too? Please help! Here are the relevant logs: ``` # modutil -dbdir nssdb -list Listing of PKCS #11 Modules ---------------------------------------------------- 1.

sssd issues with Idm Trust View
by iulian roman 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

Hello everybody, I have an issue with listing the AD users part of Default Trust View (all users have the uid overriden ) from an ipa client which is running sssd 2.2.3. The same setup works properly on Ubuntu systems with sssd 1.16.1 and Idm servers with sssd version 2.4.0. I have enabled all tracing on the clients and it seems that the issue is when it tries to write the cache : (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_store_user] (0x1000): User test_user(a)example.com does not exist. (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_add_user] (0x0040): Group named test_user(a)example.com already exists in an MPG domain (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_add_user] (0x0400): Error: 17 (File exists) (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_search_user_by_uid] (0x0400): No such entry (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_delete_user] (0x0400): Error: 2 (No such file or directory) (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_store_user] (0x0040): Cache update failed: 17 (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_store_user] (0x0400): Error: 17 (File exists) (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_search_group_by_gid] (0x0400): No such entry (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [sysdb_delete_group] (0x0400): Error: 2 (No such file or directory) (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [ipa_s2n_save_objects] (0x0040): sysdb_delete_group failed for MPG group [2]: No such file or directory (Thu Jun 17 15:03:54 2021) [be[ipa.example.com]] [ipa_s2n_get_user_done] (0x0040): ipa_s2n_save_objects failed. The query works properly for trust users which do not have uid overriden . getent group works properly but getent passwd does not display anything. I am in a point where I am clueless therefore any hint/suggestion would be really appreciated. I have posted the issue on the freeipa-users list as well but I thought that being an sssd issue maybe is more appropriate to have it here.

Hostnames and failed kerberos ticket re-authorization
by Patrick Goetz 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

Hi - We've been setting up Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 systems which use sssd for authentication as part of a Windows AD domain. Because users ssh to these machines I've been assigning them easy to remember hostnames (e.g. genbank.biosci) and then using the ad_hostname field in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf for the AD hostname; e.g. ad_hostname = cns-cryo-genb1.austin.utexas.edu (The flat AD address space necessitates a not-user-friendly hostnaming convention.) The problem with this is the systems' kerberos tickets regularly go out of date and then I have run mskutil by hand to get a new krb ticket. We have a cron job which is supposed to take care of this automatically: 00 12 * * 1,4 root kinit -R -k cns-cryo-genb1$ | logger -t krbtgt But this appears not to work all of the time. In particular, this error gets logged: kinit: Preauthentication failed while getting initial credentials One of my colleagues thinks he's tracked this down to kinit uses adcli for this, but adcli doesn't know about the ad_hostname entry in sssd.conf and instead is looking up and using the system's /etc/hostname. So, I'm wondering if there is a better solution we're overlooking. Worst case, we can just make the linux hostname match the AD hostname and then use a DNS CNAME for the user's convenience, but I'm just woondering if we're going about this all wrong.

Announcing SSSD 2.5.1
by Pavel Březina 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

# SSSD 2.5.01 The SSSD team is proud to announce the release of version 2.5.1 of the System Security Services Daemon. The tarball can be downloaded from: https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/releases/tag/2.5.1 See the full release notes at: https://sssd.io/release-notes/sssd-2.5.1.html 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 ### New features * `auto_private_groups` option can be set centrally through ID range setting in IPA (see `ipa idrange` commands family). This feature requires SSSD update on both client and server. This feature also requires `freeipa 4.9.4` and newer. ### Important fixes * Fix `getsidbyname` issues with IPA users with a user-private-group ### Configuration changes * Default value of `ldap_sudo_random_offset` changed to `0` (disabled). This makes sure that sudo rules are available as soon as possible after SSSD start in default configuration.
