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.

Fixed In Version: sssd-1.9.1-1.el6
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Cause: When the SSSD fails over to another server in its failover list, it would stick with that server as long as it worked. Consequence: If the SSSD failed over to a server in another geography, it wouldn't reconnect to a closer server until it was restarted of the backup server stopped working. Change: The concept of a "backup server" was introduced to the SSSD. Result: If the SSSD fails over to a server which is listed as a "backup server" in the configuration, it periodically tries to reconnect to one of the "primary servers".

Description Dmitri Pal 2012-02-10 20:41:39 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1128

Currently when SSSD marks a server as unavailable, it will ignore it until all other servers have failed before it will retry the 1st in the list.

I would like to request that sssd rechecks the status of the 1st server in the list as its primary and returns to using it when it is discovered functional again.

Otherwise, the recovery of a primary server requires that an entire data center restart their sssd daemon to return back to the first server in the sssd.conf
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:06:54 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 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:03:28 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.
