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 Steeve Goveas 2016-09-28 09:34:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
This bug found during the sssd test day for  rhel 7.3 features.

Multiple mistakes in sssd.conf : 
    a. typo: id provider (sid provider)
    b. domains: default (removed)

Error: no domains configured 
# sssctl config-check
(Tue Sep 13 14:59:27:675033 2016) [sssd] [confdb_get_domains] (0x0010): No domains configured, fatal error!

Answer (Michal): This is expected in the current version. No sssctl commands can be run (including config-check) if the configuration has fatal errors (errors preventing SSSD from starting). This is suboptimal, especially for command like config-check. Please file a BZ or upstream ticket, so that we enhance this in the future version.

Tested with:
sssd-1.15.2-37.el7.x86_64
sssd-tools-1.15.2-37.el7.x86_64


Steps followed during verification:
1. Installed sssd and sssd-tools package.
2. Created the sssd configuration file with following multiple mistakes
    a. typo: id provider (sid provider)
    b. domains: default (removed)
3. Ran # sssctl config-check


# cat /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
[sssd]
config_file_version = 2
domains = LDAP
services = nss, pam
