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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0338 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE samba bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:54:05 UTC

Description Marko Myllynen 2011-10-25 13:46:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
When using "net ads join" to join to an AD domain it usually works nicely and SPN for HTTP and the related key in the keytab can be successfully generated, users can then access Kerberos authenticated pages served by the host with AD tickets.

However, sometimes "net ads join" seems to partially fail to join to domain properly, a kerberos error is printed during join although the machine account has been created on AD. Then creating the SPN/HTTP doesn't work unless leaving the domain and rejoining.

I'll attach full debug logs from a customer environment after a fully successful and problematic join attempts followed by "net ads status" output.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-3.5.10-99.el6
Comment 6 Marko Myllynen 2011-10-26 11:50:04 UTC 
This actually comes up only when one of the DCs in the domain is unreachable, if specifying a known-good server (net ads join -S ...) then join/leave always work reliably.

Comment 28 RHEL Program Management 2012-01-24 23:49:16 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has 
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed 
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
Comment 31 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:50:05 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 33 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:53:27 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 34 Andreas Schneider 2012-08-03 09:09:53 UTC 
We can't reproduce it, but we are certain that it has been fixed in 3.6.6. See comment #30.
Comment 36 Marko Myllynen 2012-08-07 11:54:43 UTC 
I've now tested samba-3.6.6-126.el6 and haven't seen any failures to join a domain so far so it certainly seems that this was caused by https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8897.

Thanks!
