Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Use gss_acquire_cred() to obtain credentials from the default
credentials store for client-based GENSEC GSSAPI operation.
This allows proper execution under GSSAPI interposer plugin provided by
GSS-proxy project. GSS-proxy 0.6.2 makes possible to interpose
gss_acquire_cred() in a similar fashion to gss_acquire_cred_from().
While gss_acquire_cred_from() is a MIT extension, gss_acquire_cred() is
available in Heimdal as well and is used in other parts of Samba, namely
in source3's GENSEC gse module.
Client operation in GSS-proxy-enabled environment is needed for upcoming
FreeIPA 4.5 which internaly does privilege separation between its
framework and Apache front end code that handles actual authentication
of incoming client requests.
Samba Python bindings are used by FreeIPA framework to establish forest
trust between local Samba and remote Active Directory forests. When
FreeIPA administrator attempts to create a trust, FreeIPA uses S4U2Proxy
to allow HTTP/... principal to act on behalf of the remote administrator
credentials. With privilege separation in place, Samba GENSEC and
credentials code is unable to find actual tickets in the credential
cache available in the environment because GSS-proxy keeps them
encrypted and only accessible via GSSAPI calls that were interposed.
gss_krb5_import_cred() is not interposed, as many other direct Kerberos
extensions to GSSAPI. As result, we need to use a proper GSSAPI call here.
