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.

Summary: sssd does not recognize Windows server 2012 R2's LDAP as AD

Fixed In Version: sssd-1.12.1-1.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The SSSD contains a hardcoded list of supported AD servers. This list was missing the Windows Server 2012R2 release. Consequence: Clients connected to WS2012R2 printed a scary debug message to the logs and were unable to use several AD-specific performance enhancements. Fix: WS2012R2 was added to the list of supported Windows servers. Result: Clients connected to WS2012R2 now run faster due to using several AD-specific performance enhancements and no longer print a warning to the logs.

Description Martin Kosek 2014-08-28 13:26:19 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/2418

sssd code includes hard coded values for AD DC os version:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/sssd.git/tree/src/providers/ldap/sdap.c

{{{
if (ret == EOK) {
	/* Validate that the DC level matches an expected value */
	switch(dc_level) {
	case DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2000:
	case DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2003:
	case DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2008:
	case DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2008R2:
	case DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2012:
		opts->dc_functional_level = dc_level;
		DEBUG(SSSDBG_CONF_SETTINGS,
			  "Setting AD compatibility level to [%d]\n",
			   opts->dc_functional_level);
		break;
	default:
		DEBUG(SSSDBG_MINOR_FAILURE,
			  "Received invalid value for AD compatibility level. "
			   "Continuing without AD performance enhancements\n");
	}
} else if (ret != ENOENT) {
	DEBUG(SSSDBG_MINOR_FAILURE,
		  "Error detecting Active Directory compatibility level "
		   "(%s). Continuing without AD performance enhancements\n",
		   strerror(ret));
}
}}}

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/sssd.git/tree/src/providers/ldap/sdap.h

{{{
/* Values from
 * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc223272%28v=prot.13%29.aspx
 */
enum dc_functional_level {
    DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2000 = 0,
    DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2003 = 2,
    DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2008 = 3,
    DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2008R2 = 4,
    DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2012 = 5
};
}}}

There is a new OS version avalable in:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc223272%28v=prot.13%29.aspx
6 = DS_BEHAVIOR_WIN2012R2

This means sssd cant does not treat MS AD 2012R2 LDAP as AD with all the optimizations.
