Description Jakub Hrozek 2015-03-24 06:53:08 EDT

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1994

The sssd_be loads the keytab on start and checks for the expected principal. In case the keytab is wrong or the principal is missing, there is no explanation with the default logging, just:
{{{
(Thu Jun 20 17:50:54 2013) [sssd[be[ipa.example.com]]] [load_backend_module] (0x0010): Error (2) in module (ipa) initialization (sssm_ipa_id_init)!
(Thu Jun 20 17:50:54 2013) [sssd[be[ipa.example.com]]] [be_process_init] (0x0010): fatal error initializing data providers
(Thu Jun 20 17:50:54 2013) [sssd[be[ipa.example.com]]] [main] (0x0010): Could not initialize backend [2]
}}}

We should make it clear that the back end didn't start due to wrong keytab.
