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.

Description of problem:

when configuring to instruct sudo to gather sudo rules
over sssd, I get the folowing error message :

# sudo ls /etc/sssd

sudo: Unable to dlopen /usr/lib64/libsss_sudo.so: (null)
sudo: Unable to initialize SSS source. Is SSSD installed on your machine?


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

sssd-1.9.2-82.7.el6_4.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install sssd sudo sssd-client pam nss
2. echo "sudoers:   sss files" >> /etc/nsswitch.conf
3. add appropriate "sudo_provider" and "ldap_sudo_search_base" to sssd.conf
4. add "sudo" to "services =" in sssd.conf
5. echo "[sudo]" >> /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

Actual results:

sudo: Unable to dlopen /usr/lib64/libsss_sudo.so: (null)

Expected results:

grant access based on sudo rules found in sssd

Additional info:

To fix this bug, download and install libsss_sudo (from
rpmfind for example : tested with libsss_sudo-1.9.2-82.10).


Normally, libsss_sudo should be packaged within redhat
sudo package.

In RHEL6, you need to install libsss_sudo yourself, in later releases we moved the library back to the SSSD itself.

Not a bug, sorry for the inconvenience.
