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 Dmitri Pal 2012-01-12 14:12:54 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1137

In {{{sdap_get_tgt_recv()}}} and {{{krb5_child_done()}}} we should report errors while acquiring the TGT to syslog, not just the debug logs.

This would help with triaging errors, as such common problems as clock skew would be easy to detect.

Verified on sssd-1.8.0-22.el6.x86_64.

Cause: SSSD would log errors in Kerberos authentication only into its own debug logs

Consequence: Users would have difficulty tracking down the cause of errors with authentication

Fix: Errors occurred during Kerberos authentication are now sent to the syslog in addition to the debug logs.

Result: Users will see failures to authenticate in a standard location, making it easier to track down the cause.
