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 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 Patrik Kis 2017-04-20 10:18:54 UTC
Description of problem:
This is a regression with the new version of authconfig. With older released versions the behavior was different.
Now authonfig generates an sssd.conf with names of sections and a few options (see below).

Not sure which change caused it or if it is intentional, but it is clearly changes the behavior fixed in bug 874527 (there is no attempt to start sssd, though).
If the change is intentional, please document it, and explain why it was added.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-6.2.8-19.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/authconfig /etc/sssd/sssd.conf 
# strace authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --updateall 2>&1  |grep sssd.conf
open("/etc/sssd/sssd.conf", O_RDONLY)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/sssd/sssd.conf", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 7
#
# cat /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
[sssd]
services = nss, pam

[nss]
homedir_substring = /home

[pam]

[sudo]

[autofs]

[ssh]

[pac]

[ifp]

[secrets]

#

Interestingly, if there is already an sssd.conf file, the content is not added.

# rm -rf /etc/sysconfig/authconfig /etc/sssd/sssd.conf 
# touch /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
# strace authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --updateall 2>&1  |grep sssd.conf
open("/etc/sssd/sssd.conf", O_RDONLY)   = 3
read(7, "c/sssd.conf\n\n        === Returns"..., 4096) = 4096
# cat /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
