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 of problem:

authconfig-tui/gtk does not have option to disable "cache_credentials" and always resets it to true.


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

authconfig-6.1.4-6.el6

Steps to reproduce : 

Add "cache_credentials = False" in sssd.conf file, run authconfig-tui or authconfig-gtk

Actual results : authconfig-tui/gtk reset the above to "cache_credentials = True"  (default)

Expected results : An option(button) in authconfig-tui/gtk to enable/disable cache_credentials or leave the entry as it is.

I will not add an extra option for this. But authconfig should clearly keep the value that was manually set here.

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
Prior to this update, the authentication configuration tool overwrote the cache_credentials value to "True" in the SSSD configuration file (/etc/sssd/sssd.conf) if the configuration allowed using SSSD for the network user information and authentication services. With this update, the "cache_credentials" parameter is no longer overwritten in the aforementioned case.
