sss_obfuscate fails if there's no domain named "default".
Last modified: 2015-01-04 18:46:01 EST
Description of problem: sss_obfuscate fails if there's no domain named "default". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sssd-1.5.1-3.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure sssd.conf for a single domain. (check additional info for relevant sssd.conf) 2. Make sure domain name is not "default". 3. Execute "sss_obfuscate" to obfuscate password. Actual results: # sss_obfuscate Enter password: Re-enter password: No such domain default Expected results: Should check if there exists only one domain and assume the existing one domain as default. Additional info: Relevant section of sssd.conf [domain/LDAP] ldap_tls_reqcert = demand auth_provider = ldap ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com id_provider = ldap ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/openldap/cacerts/cacert.asc debug_level = 9 ldap_uri = ldaps://sssdldap.redhat.com:636 enumerate = True cache_credentials = True ldap_tls_cacertdir = /etc/openldap/cacerts
I'd just like one clarification here. There are active domains and inactive domains in SSSD. An active domain is one that is configured in [domain/DOMAINNAME] and is also specified in the domains= line in the [sssd] section. An inactive domain is one that is configured in [domain/DOMAINNAME] but is NOT listed in the domains= line. Under which situation do we assume that one is the default. Should it be only if there is exactly one domain (active or inactive) specified in sssd.conf, or should it be if there is exactly one active domain specified in the [sssd] section? Also, what error message would you like to see when if we try to update sssd.conf without specifying a domain and there are two domains in play. Perhaps "Unable to determine default domain, please use -d <domain>"?
I would suggest for e.g. if we have DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2 case1: [domain/DOMAIN1] - DOMAIN1 is default domain. case 2: [domain/DOMAIN2] and DOMAIN1 is inactive - DOMAIN2 is default domain. case 3: [domain/DOMAIN1,DOMAIN2] - "Unable to determine default domain, please use -d <domain>"
(In reply to comment #5) Just trying to make sure I have this right: > I would suggest for e.g. if we have DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2 > > case1: [domain/DOMAIN1] > - DOMAIN1 is default domain. > There is only one domain (active or inactive) named DOMAIN1. In this case it's the default. > case 2: [domain/DOMAIN2] and DOMAIN1 is inactive > - DOMAIN2 is default domain. > Multiple domains are available in the config file, but only one is active. In this case, the active domain is the default. > case 3: [domain/DOMAIN1,DOMAIN2] > - "Unable to determine default domain, please use -d <domain>" Two domains are active, so we should force a command-line option. I'm beginning to think that this isn't going to be easy to explain to a user. Perhaps we should just drop the "default" domain completely and always mandate the use of -d <domain>. Would that be an acceptable move? It seems like that would be the least-ambiguous approach.
I think that makes sense to just make -d option required. Then there isn't any question.
sss_obfuscate command now always mandate the use of -d <domain>. # sss_obfuscate -h Usage: sss_obfuscate [options] sss_obfuscate converts a given password into human-unreadable format and places it into appropriate domain section of the SSSD config file. The password can be passed in by stdin, specified on the command-line or entered interactively Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -s, --stdin Read the password from stdin. -d DOMNAME, --domain=DOMNAME The domain to use the password in (mandatory) -f FILE, --file=FILE Set input file to FILE (default: Use system default, usually /etc/sssd/sssd.conf) [root@pogolinux-2 ~]# sss_obfuscate -s < /tmp/pwd.txt No domain specified # rpm -qi sssd | head Name : sssd Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.5.1 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
