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.

IdM team doesn't have capacity to fix this bug for RHEL 7.4. Moving to next RHEL version. Fixing the bug there will depend on capacity of FreeIPA upstream. Without sufficient  justification there is a chance that it will be moved again later.

Comment 7 Christian Heimes 2018-04-30 09:37:04 UTC
I cannot reproduce the issue any more. Initialization from a keytab with KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME works fine for me on RHEL 7.5 as well as Fedora with FreeIPA master. Please make sure that the file is readable but the current user. KRB5 doesn't print an error when it doesn't have permission to read the keytab file.

Matt, please check file permissions and try again.

Comment 8 Rob Crittenden 2018-05-11 12:59:35 UTC
I tested this in 7.5 and it works for me as well. Closing.
