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 request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 3 Tomas Mraz 2010-06-16 14:58:30 UTC
Hmm, that looks like a somehow corrupted sssd configuration is parsed by the SSSDConfig and it gives a traceback. 

Should this really be handled in authconfig and not in the SSSDConfig API?

Steve, what do you think?

Comment 4 Stephen Gallagher 2010-06-16 15:11:06 UTC
Well, normally this wouldn't be an issue, except that 'mid_id' is a typo that's not recognized by the SSSDConfig API, which means that this traceback is perfectly valid.

Comment 5 Dmitri Pal 2010-06-16 15:17:23 UTC
In the case when SSSD was not ever configured but the command above is ran the authcofig should detect that SSSD not configured and not blow up but return success. This is what this bug is about.

Comment 7 Tomas Mraz 2010-06-16 15:49:14 UTC
Dmitri, but this is not how the authconfig works. It tries to read configurations of all possible services because they might be later switched on - in the GUI.

The problem is that the NoOptionError is not mentioned here for the get_domain call: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/SSSDPythonConfigApi/SSSDConfig#get_domainname

Stephen, how should I handle the traceback and what happens later when I try to write into such misconfigured config file?

I think the config API should ignore such errors and then overwrite if such domain is saved later.

Comment 8 Stephen Gallagher 2010-06-16 15:52:01 UTC
Tomas: yeah, that actually is a bug in get_domainname(). I should be trapping that.

Comment 9 Stephen Gallagher 2010-06-16 16:17:55 UTC
Tomas and I discussed this elsewhere. I will update the get_domain() function to handle unknown options and silently drop them from the configuration. There's no sense in holding onto invalid options anyway.

Disabling SSSD using authconfig even when its not configured returns success.
Verified. Version: sssd-1.2.1-21.

Comment 15 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 21:39:57 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
