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 Marko Myllynen 2011-09-09 13:12:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
As discussed with SSSD developers ipa-client-install shouldn't use --enablekrb5 parameter with authconfig when using SSSD.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
IPA 2.1.1
Comment 1 Stephen Gallagher 2011-09-09 13:19:07 UTC 
ipa-client-install is calling 'authconfig --enablekrb5 --update' during its execution, which is adding an unnecessary 'pam_krb5.so' entry to the assorted PAM configuration files in /etc/pam.d/

I'm not sure why this is believed to be necessary on an SSSD-enabled system, but it's most likely wrong.
Comment 3 Rob Crittenden 2011-09-09 13:28:06 UTC 
Most likely? Bottom line it for me, remove it or not?
Comment 4 Alexander Bokovoy 2011-09-09 13:31:37 UTC 
pam_krb5 should not be used with SSSD, so remove. I made a ticket for FreeIPA.
Comment 5 Alexander Bokovoy 2011-09-09 13:32:03 UTC 
Assign to myself.
Comment 6 Stephen Gallagher 2011-09-09 13:33:20 UTC 
Well, I said "most likely" because I wasn't sure if there was some other side-effect of this feature that we were counting on (like setting up krb5.conf or something). It warrants investigation.

Comment 11 Namita Soman 2011-10-18 14:12:28 UTC 
When installing with sssd, install logs indicate:
/usr/sbin/authconfig --enablesssdauth --update --enablesssd
and does not add any 'pam_krb5.so' entry to the PAM configuration files in /etc/pam.d/

And with no-sssd, logs have:
/usr/sbin/authconfig --enablekrb5 --nostart --update
and adds 'pam_krb5.so' entry to the PAM configuration files in /etc/pam.d/


Verified using ipa-client-2.1.2-2.el6.x86_64
