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.
As a solution to a security issue, GSSAPI credential delegation was disabled, which broke the functionality of the applications that were relying on delegation, which was incorrectly enabled by libcurl. To fix this issue, the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION libcurl option has been introduced in order to enable delegation explicitly when applications need it. All applications using GSSAPI credential delegation can now use this new libcurl option to be able to run properly.
Description of problem:
libcurl upstream dropped support for delegating Kerberos tickets. This was applied to EL6 in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711454
The IPA project needs to be able to delegate tickets via XML-RPC (we use the xmlrpc-c package which in turn uses libcurl).
This also affects certmonger which uses similar xmlrpc-c/libcurl calls to communicate with IPA.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
curl-7.19.7-26.el6_1.1
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an IPA server
2. On a separate machine run: ipa-client-install using details from step 1
Actual results:
Joining realm failed because of failing XML-RPC request.
This error may be caused by incompatible server/client major versions.
On the Apache server if you set LogLevel debug in nss.conf you'll see that the ticket was not delegated.
I have proposed a solution upstream:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.general/12226/focus=32265
Whoever is going to commit the fix, please just make sure we use the same option name/constant as upstream. Otherwise we would have incompatible API/ABI. Thanks in advance!
