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 Avigdor Finkelstein 2018-06-07 15:09:10 UTC
Description of problem:
Every 5 minutes a small tree is created in /tmp like that:
/tmp/adcli-krb5-xxxxx
`- krb5.d 
   `- adcli-krb5-conf-XXXXX

The file is a partial duplication of /etc/krb5.conf
The file are gathered and I discovered them when there were about 5000 trees like that on each server. Now I clean them weekly, with a cron job.
Yet, this is still a bug that need to be solved.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Main release are RHEL 7.3 and 7.4
adcli-0.8.* and
sssd-1.14 or
sssd-1.15 or
sssd-1.16

How reproducible:
I only guess that the problem lies with AD records that include Hebrew ISO codes combines with double-quote (") that follow a back-slash (\), for example
from sssd logs:
(Mon Mar 26 12:25:25 2018) [sssd[be[default]]] [ad_enum_cross_dom_members]
(0x0080): Failed to add [CN=אגף/פיתוח/מחלקה/קבוצה
ארה\"ב,OU=Groups,OU=Site,OU=Company,DC=com]: Input/output error 
Note: The Hebrew string  is reversed by the mailer editor, but
I guess that would help only to whom may able to recognize the letters.

And a second example:
Date Time [sssd[be[default]]]  [ad_enum_cross_dom_numbers] (0x0080): Failed
to add [CN=ב\"כג/דכ\"ד/קקר,OU=כע\"י/רח\"ג/עיחעגד חיכגח//חיחי 456,OU=ANOTHER
OU,OU=YET MORE,DC=realm]: Input/outoput error
Date Time [sssd[be[default]]] [ldb] (0X4000): Added timed event
"ltdb_callback": 0x55b66975178b0

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Again, I only guess that creating users with CN and OU that include strings like described above, will create the problem that leave the small tree of files in /tmp every 5 minutes.
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
There are cases that I created with a local analyst in Israel and with RED HAT support, but since I didn't get reasonable response, I hope that a record in Bugzilla will expedite the solution.

Comment 2 Sumit Bose 2018-06-07 17:32:02 UTC
Hi,

If adding 'ad_maximum_machine_account_password_age = 0' to the [domain/...] section of sssd.conf does not help please add 'debug_level=9' to the [domain/...] section of sssd.conf, restart SSSD, let it run for e.g. 15min and attach the /var/log/sssd/sssd_your.domain.name.log to this ticket.

bye,
Sumit

Customer confirmed test packed worked for him. No more krb temp files.

Thanks Sumit.

Comment 9 Sumit Bose 2018-12-07 13:10:27 UTC
To reproduce I would remove the 'NAME$@AD.REALM' entry from the keytab
and call 'adcli update'. Without the fix there should be a
/tmp/adcli-krb5-xxxxx left in /tmp/. With the fix there should be no
such directory.

Comment 11 Avigdor Finkelstein 2019-03-17 07:02:42 UTC
I'm sorry to inform that the fix above was applied and did not solve the problem. Those small file trees continue to accumulate in /tmp, one every 5 minutes. The problem appeared first on RHEL 7.3, continued on 7.4, solved on 7.5 and sadly appear again on RHEL 7.6.
The temporary solution is to remove the adcli rpm of 7.6 and reapply the 7.5 rpm.
Please open the problem again.

Comment 12 Avigdor Finkelstein 2019-03-17 07:06:33 UTC
The description above related to Hebrew letters, was a wrong guess. 
Actually the problem is caused by the Lower case user principal versus an Upper case one. Windows is case insensitive, yet Linux and MIT are case sensitive.
