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.

Fixed In Version: krb5-1.13.2-5.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the RADIUS support (libkrad) in krb5 was sending krb5 authentication for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) transports multiple times, accidentally using a code path intended to be used only for unreliable transport types, for example User Datagram Protocol (UDP) transports. A patch that fixes the problem by disabling manual retries for reliable transports, such as TCP, has been applied, and the correct code path is now used in this situation.

Description Nathaniel McCallum 2015-08-07 19:57:39 UTC 
The patch at the following link fixes the issue and has been submitted upstream.

https://github.com/krb5/krb5/pull/308
Comment 2 Namita Soman 2015-08-07 20:20:34 UTC 
Pls add steps to verify
Comment 3 Nathaniel McCallum 2015-08-07 20:34:15 UTC 
1. Clean install of IPA.
2. Log in as admin: kinit admin
3. Add a radius server record (ipa radiusproxy-add --server=localhost.localdomain --retries=0 foo).
4. DO NOT set up an actual radius server. We want the requests to time out.
5. Add a user: ipa user-add foo.
6. Set the user's password: ipa passwd foo
7. Configure user for radius: ipa user-mod foo --radius=foo --user-auth-type=radius
8. In another window, run: journalctl --follow
9. Authenticate as user foo.

In the journalctl window, you should see only one request processed by ipa-otpd rather than four.

Sigh...
... npmccallum: Do you know any other places in krb5 territory which do a similar kind of retry for UDP which should not be used for reliable transports like TCP ?

Patch OK, r=rmainz for https://github.com/krb5/krb5/commit/25e0656fdf9862faf9aa91288023776e9a47caad
Comment 7 Nathaniel McCallum 2015-08-07 21:28:38 UTC 
No. This arose precisely because of the radius code as part of the OTP project.
Comment 8 Roland Mainz 2015-08-08 21:53:04 UTC 
Patch checked-in (krb5-1.13.2-5.el7) ...

... marking bug as MODIFIED.
