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:
The sss_cache utility performs cleanups of the SSSD cache. Currently there is no option to clear the cached sudo rules.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.9.2-82


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure IPA server and add sudo rules
2. Configure SSSD client and enable sudo caching as per the RHEL-6 Identity
   Management guide as found at:
   https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Identity_Management_Guide/index.html#sudo
3. Use sudo to cache some rules
4. Check the cache with
~~~
ldbsearch -H /var/lib/sss/db/cache_<domain>.ldb \
  -b cn=sudorules,cn=custom,cn=LDAP,cn=sysdb
~~~
5. Invalidate the cached sudo rules with sss_cache


Actual results:
The sss_cache utility does not have options to invalidate the sudo rules.


Expected results:
Same as with for example users and groups, be able to invalidate the cached
sudo rules with sss_cache.

With comment #3 in mind I'm going to close this report and track the RFE in the RHEL7 bugzilla for the time being.
