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 Kaushik Banerjee 2014-09-29 19:16:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
authconfig crashes if case_sensitive=preserving in sssd.conf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-6.2.8-8.el7.x86_64
sssd-1.12.1-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add case_sensitive=preserving in the domain section of sssd.conf
# authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --updateall
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/authconfig", line 1067, in <module>
    sys.exit(module.run())
  File "/usr/sbin/authconfig", line 643, in run
    self.readAuthInfo()
  File "/usr/sbin/authconfig", line 414, in readAuthInfo
    self.info = authinfo.read(self.printError)
  File "/usr/share/authconfig/authinfo.py", line 985, in read
    info.read()
  File "/usr/share/authconfig/authinfo.py", line 2470, in read
    self.readSSSD(ref)
  File "/usr/share/authconfig/authinfo.py", line 1853, in readSSSD
    domain = self.sssdConfig.get_domain(domname)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SSSDConfig/__init__.py", line 1847, in get_domain
    domain.set_option(opt['name'], opt['value'])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SSSDConfig/__init__.py", line 1149, in set_option
    (option_schema[0], option, type(value)))
TypeError: Expected <type 'bool'> for case_sensitive, received <type 'str'>


Actual results:
traceback in authconfig

Expected results:
authconfig should not crash

Additional info:
Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2014-09-30 07:01:53 UTC 
I think SSSDConfig should not propagate this exception in the get_domain method.
Comment 3 Jakub Hrozek 2014-09-30 08:52:44 UTC 
We changed the option from bool (true|false) to a tri-state (true|false|preserving) so the internal representation was changed to a string.

Michal, can you take a look, please?
Comment 4 Michal Zidek 2014-10-01 10:47:43 UTC 
This is my mistake. When I changed the option to string I forgot to declare it as such in the sssd.api.conf. Sending patch to the devel-list now.

Comment 9 Kaushik Banerjee 2014-12-03 09:09:31 UTC 
Verified with sssd-1.12.2-28.el7

Domain section has:
[domain/LDAP]
id_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldaps://<ldapserver>
ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/openldap/certs/cacert.asc
ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
case_sensitive=preserving

# authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --updateall ; echo $?
