| Doc Text: |
Cause: The LDAP provider manual page stated that GSSAPI authentication is used and the Kerberos realm is not specified, the
system default would be used. However, the LDAP provider code did not fall back to the system default Kerberos realm when
the realm was not specified in the config file.
Consequence: The documentation did not match the code
Fix: The LDAP provider was fixed so that it is able to fall back to the default realm configured in /etc/krb5.conf
Result: The documentation matches the code

Description of problem: The sssd-ldap manual page says: krb5_realm (string) Specify the Kerberos REALM (for SASL/GSSAPI auth). Default: System defaults, see /etc/krb5.conf That's not true since we added the online/offline callbacks to create and delete kdcinfo files. They require the realm to be specified to construct the pathname of the kdcinfo files. If the realm is not specified, the provider does not even start and quits with a rather confusing error message (the code strdups the NULL realm and thinks it hits an OOM situation). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sssd-1.5.1-47.el6 Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure an LDAP provider with GSSAPI authentication and omit the krb5_realm option 2. start sssd Actual results: the provider does not start Expected results: the provider should start
