RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: This enhancement adds support to the keyutils library (as keyctl_get_persistent()) and the keyctl program (as keyctl get_persistent) for the purpose of getting at the per-UID persistent keyring that is made available by the kernel. Reason: The library change is primarily for the Kerberos libraries to be able to use a keyring for the storage of Kerberos tickets. The keyctl interface is primarily for testing, but can also used by scripts. Result (if any):

Description Stephen Gallagher 2013-10-02 16:21:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
Kerberos libraries now have a new credential cache type based on the kernel keyring and persistent keyring support. We need keyutils to provide access to this kernel functionality.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
keyutils-1.5.6-1.el7
Comment 1 David Howells 2013-10-02 16:29:41 UTC 
Support for this has been included in keyutils-1.5.7:

and has been pushed to Fedora.
