Description Alexey Tikhonov 2022-04-06 16:51:10 UTC
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2072050

I am copying this bug because: to track fix for RHEL9



As part of OpenShift 4.11, RHCOS recently switched to using the RHEL 8.6 Beta content and we started to see evidence of `sssd` crashing and restarting in a loop.

The version of `sssd` used in RHCOS is `sssd-0-2.6.2-3.el8-x86_64`


We think this may be related to:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1796466#c10
https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/issues/5753


The upstream PR:

https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/pull/6075

...may resolve this issue for us.


This is currently blocking the ability for OpenShift clusters to be installed/started successfully.
