Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #599026 +++

Description of problem:
There is a typo in the Makefile for SSSD. Using KEYUITLS_LIB instead of KEYUTILS_LIB results in the SSSD using its own internal storage instead of the slightly more secure kernel keyring.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.2.0-12.fc13

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile the SSSD
2. Run the sssd with krb5_store_password_if_offline
  
Actual results:
The kernel keyring is not used, and internal storage is used instead.

Expected results:
The kernel keyring is used.

Additional info:
N/A

Can you please add steps to verify?  How to make sure the kernel keyring is used vs. internal storage. Thanks!

You can check /proc/keys . If a key for delayed authentication is stored you should see an entry with the user name in the description column.
