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 Oliver Falk 2019-11-07 11:50:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
During testing IPA deployment in my customers environment and running various fail over test scenarios, we recognized that under some circumstances, fail over didn't work as expected and resulted in failed or delayed (~ 60 - 70 seconds) logins.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.16.4


How reproducible: Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Client connected to two IPA servers (A and B)
2. Cut connection to server A
3. Login to client
4. Allow connection to server A
5. Cut connection to server B

If you keep doing this repeatedly, at some point the fail back from B to A doesn't work; SSSD takes a very long time to recognize the connection to server A is restored and uses it again.

Actual results: Logins delayed or not working at all


Expected results: Fail over + fail back work smoothly


Additional info:
* This was already analysed by Sumit Bose and he has a fix for it available.
* Customer case will be linked.
* Exception set to ?
* We'll need this fix in 7.7 z-stream (for EUS) later as well
* It also applies to RHEL 8 AFAIK

[root@master ~]# rpm -q ipa-server ipa-client
ipa-server-4.6.6-11.el7.x86_64
ipa-client-4.6.6-11.el7.x86_64



Verified the bug on the basis of following steps/observations:
1. Setup IPA master at RHEL78
2. Setup IPA Replica at RHEL78
3. Setup IPA client at RHEL78 (Ensuring that resolv.conf has entries for both MASTER and REPLICA)
4. Alternately Start / Stop Master and Replica and check if kinit works on client machine


Script used:
while true; do
date
echo --------------------
echo MASTER OFF
ssh -t root.test "ipactl status"
ssh -t root.test "ipactl stop"
ssh -t root.test "ipactl status"
echo REPLICA ON
ssh -t root.test "ipactl restart"
ssh -t root.test "ipactl status"
systemctl stop sssd; rm -rf /var/lib/sss/db/*; systemctl start sssd
kdestroy
klist
echo Secret123 | kinit admin
klist
getent passwd admin
echo ===============================================
date
echo --------------------
echo MASTER ON
ssh -t root.test  "ipactl restart"
ssh -t root.test "ipactl status"
echo REPLICA OFF
ssh -t root.test "ipactl status"
ssh -t root.test "ipactl stop"
ssh -t root.test "ipactl status"
systemctl stop sssd; rm -rf /var/lib/sss/db/*; systemctl start sssd
kdestroy
klist
echo Secret123 | kinit admin
klist
getent passwd admin
echo ===============================================
done


Ran the above script continuously for 10mins and the kinit was successful with FAILOVER from Master to REPLICA and Vice-Versa.
