Description Eugene Indenbom 2010-03-19 17:14:25 UTC

Description of problem:
When using LDAP connection with kerberos encryption SSSD pollutes system log with 2 messages every 10 minutes.

The messages are as follows:
Mar 18 16:54:29 node-1 sssd_be: GSSAPI Error: The referenced context has expired (Unknown error)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.5


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure SSSD domain with LDAP id provider and kerberos authentication and encryption
2. Look into event log
  
Actual results:
2 error messages every 10 minutes appeared.

Expected results:
No error messages are expected.


Additional info:
SSSD functions normally. The messages are produced by sasl_callback set predefined SASL_CB_LOG.

An error happens during kerberos packet encryption after kerberos ticket is expired.

The error is handled by SSSD later on, but message gets added to system log.

There 2 side problems here:
1. Why ticket is acquired for only 5 minutes?
2. Why reconnect happens only after error, not in advance?

It makes sense in case of kerberos encryption to acquire ticket for longer period (say 24h) and reconnect in advance before ticket expiry, avoiding error message and processing delay.

The workaround for this problem is to use SSL encryption instead of kerberos.
