sssd.conf file as created by authconfig

Description of problem:

On sssd live image, did:

# authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --ldapserver=ldap.cora.nwra.com  --ldapbasedn=dc=nwra,dc=com --enableldaptls --ldaploadcacert=http://www.cora.nwra.com/cgi-bin/getca.pl --update

and got:

Starting sssd: Cannot load configuration database
                                                           [FAILED]

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-6.1.2-1.fc13.i686
Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2010-03-30 18:03:09 UTC 
This is not the way the SSSD should be set up by the command-line. Using the --enablesssd and --enablesssdauth options forces startup of sssd but does not set up the ldap provider.


I suppose you want LDAP for both user identity and The correct way is:

authconfig --enableldap --enableldapauth --ldapserver=ldap.cora.nwra.com --ldapbasedn=dc=nwra,dc=com --enableldaptls
--ldaploadcacert=http://www.cora.nwra.com/cgi-bin/getca.pl --update

Of course you should run this command either on fresh install without any other network authentication set or disable all other network identity/authentication with authconfig call. You can find out the current settings with 'authconfig --test'.

I'll try to document that in the authconfig man page.
Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2010-03-30 20:35:35 UTC 
Okay, that works.  Sorry for the noise.
