Description of problem: There are 2 things that SSSD is missing: 1) sssd-ldap is missing examples of the SERVICE DISCOVERY list. NSCD used a space separated list. However, SSSD uses a comma separated list and does not accept a space separated list. This is not documented. 2)sssd is missing meaning for exit codes. Hard to troubleshoot problems without this information Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man sssd and man sssd-ldap RHEL5 and 6 This is not resolved with the coming rebase to 1.5
Reassign to sssd component which is owner of both pages.
1) See the Failover Syntax section of sssd-ldap(5) Failover Syntax The list of servers is given as a comma-separated list; any number of spaces is allowed around the comma. The servers are listed in order of preference. The list can contain any number of servers. 2) SSSD does not document the error codes because they're not defined. When the SSSD fails to start, an error message is printed to /var/log/sssd/sssd.log
Re-opening based on customer feedback: My customer feels this 'see also' style is not accessible enough and that a simple change could help make usage more immediately clear. Especially for users not already familiar with sssd configuration style. They recommend updating the text from: Specifies the list of URIs of the LDAP servers to which... To: Specifies the comma separated list of URIs of the LDAP servers... Thanks.
