Description Dmitri Pal 2012-01-12 14:12:54 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1137

In {{{sdap_get_tgt_recv()}}} and {{{krb5_child_done()}}} we should report errors while acquiring the TGT to syslog, not just the debug logs.

This would help with triaging errors, as such common problems as clock skew would be easy to detect.

Verified on sssd-1.8.0-22.el6.x86_64.

The output for the associated beaker automation script is given below:

Cause: SSSD would log errors in Kerberos authentication only into its own debug logs

Consequence: Users would have difficulty tracking down the cause of errors with authentication

Fix: Errors occurred during Kerberos authentication are now sent to the syslog in addition to the debug logs.

Result: Users will see failures to authenticate in a standard location, making it easier to track down the cause.
