Description of problem: kpasswd fails with the error: "kpasswd: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm changing password" if sssd is used with krb backend and the kadmin service is not running on the KDCs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sssd-1.5.4-1.fc14 krb5-workstation-1.8.2-9.fc14 How reproducible: Almost every time, predictable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. System with sssd using krb5 as auth backend. kpasswd service on a different server to the KDC 2. Run 'kpasswd' as a user 3. Enter passwords Actual results: "kpasswd: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm changing password" Expected results: kpasswd sends a change password request to the kadmin server. Additional info: kpasswd is looking for /var/lib/sss/pubconf/kdcinfo.$REALM, if not found it falls back to the traditional method of using /etc/krb5.conf and then DNS lookup. Which works. If kdcinfo.$REALM exists, kpasswd then looks for /var/lib/sss/pubconf/kpasswdinfo.$REALM, which never gets created. kpasswd uses the addresses from kdcinfo.$REALM as the kadmin server, which isn't running the kpasswd service. Hence fail. The file in /var/lib/sss/pubconf/ is only created after sssd-krb5 is poked in the right way, e.g. an auth attempt. After restarting sssd the directory is empty. /etc/sssd/sssd.conf contains: [sssd] config_file_version = 2 reconnection_retries = 3 sbus_timeout = 30 services = nss, pam domains = default [nss] filter_groups = root filter_users = root reconnection_retries = 3 [pam] reconnection_retries = 3 [domain/default] cache_credentials = True debug_level = 0 id_provider = ldap ldap_uri = ldaps://ldap-auth.mydomain ldap_id_use_start_tls = False ldap_search_base = dc=decisionsoft,dc=com chpass_provider = krb5 auth_provider = krb5 krb5_realm = MYREALM krb5_kpasswd = kerberos-master.mydomain krb5_server = kerberos.mydomain
