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 Nirupama Karandikar 2015-06-18 12:23:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
man sssd.conf should clarify details about subdomain_inherit option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.12.4-46.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Actual results:

subdomain_inherit (string)
           Specifies a list of configuration parameters that should be inherited by a subdomain. Please note that only selected parameters can be inherited.

Expected results:

The man pages should clarify details about "subdomain_inherit" option.

The "subdomain_inherit" option works only with IPA server with AD trust setup. This option do not work with any other provider.

This wouldn't be correct. The option does what it says, it applies config options from main domain to a subdomain. The other issue is that not all subdomains respect all options equally and you're right we should come up with a better description. We'll come up with a better wording..

Comment 4 Jakub Hrozek 2015-10-11 20:18:00 UTC 
It's better to fix minor issues in RHEL-7 first.

Comment 9 Steeve Goveas 2016-09-07 09:39:29 UTC 
Version sssd-1.14.0-27.el7.x86_64
Better description. Thanks! marking verified.

       subdomain_inherit (string)
           Specifies a list of configuration parameters that should be inherited by a subdomain. Please note that only selected parameters can be
           inherited. Currently the following options can be inherited:

           ignore_group_members

           ldap_purge_cache_timeout

           ldap_use_tokengroups

           ldap_user_principal

           ldap_krb5_keytab (the value of krb5_keytab will be used if ldap_krb5_keytab is not set explicitly)

           Example:

               subdomain_inherit = ldap_purge_cache_timeout

           Default: none

           Note: This option only works with the IPA and AD provider.
