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 Flags
patch to introduce alternatives for winbind_krb5_locator.so none

Description Alexander Bokovoy 2012-10-10 10:50:48 UTC
Description of problem:
On IPA server when AD trusts feature is enabled, winbind_krb5_locator.so plugin should not be available to libkrb5. This could be achieved by requiring that samba{,4}-winbind-krb5-locator package is never installed when ipa-server-trust-ad package is installed but much easier to automatically configure through alternatives.

Without this fix winbind_krb5_locator.so plugin to libkrb5 will interfere with winbindd configuration for IPA AD trusts, rendering them unusable.

Comment 2 Alexander Bokovoy 2012-10-10 10:54:22 UTC
Created attachment 624780 [details]
patch to introduce alternatives for winbind_krb5_locator.so

This is spec change that is needed to allow disabling winbind_krb5_locator.so plugin when trusts are in use on the server. Since libkrb5 reads any file in its plugins directory, keeping disabled plugin there is not an option, so I moved it back to %_libdir and used alternatives instead.

When trusts package (ipa-server-trust-ad) is installed, it will alternate to /dev/null for this plugin (link in plugins dir will point to /etc/alternatives/winbind_krb5_locator.so which will point to /dev/null). This will make libkrb5 to effectively ignore the plugin.

When trusts package is uninstalled, samba4 package will automatically be selected as a provider for the winbind_krb5_locator.so and will redirect the link to %_libdir/winbind_krb5_locator.so which is happily used by libkrb5

Comment 4 Andreas Schneider 2012-12-06 16:49:55 UTC
There is a typo in post uninstall script.

Comment 5 Andreas Schneider 2012-12-10 18:08:07 UTC
Fixed postun script.

Comment 7 Andreas Schneider 2012-12-17 11:21:28 UTC
Fixed another typo in postun script.

Comment 8 Namita Soman 2013-01-28 16:17:55 UTC
Installed ipa-server-trust-ad, and verified the 
# yum install ipa-server-trust-ad

# find / -name winbind_krb5_locator.so -print 
/var/lib/alternatives/winbind_krb5_locator.so
/usr/lib64/krb5/plugins/libkrb5/winbind_krb5_locator.so
/etc/alternatives/winbind_krb5_locator.so

# ls -l /usr/lib64/krb5/plugins/libkrb5/winbind_krb5_locator.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 Jan 28 11:08 /usr/lib64/krb5/plugins/libkrb5/winbind_krb5_locator.so -> /etc/alternatives/winbind_krb5_locator.so


Next uninstalled ipa-server-ad....
# yum remove ipa-server-trust-ad

# find / -name winbind_krb5_locator.so -print 
<Nothing listed>


Ques: Does this verify the bz? Not sure how to verify the part "When trusts package is uninstalled, samba4 package will automatically be selected as a provider for the winbind_krb5_locator.so and will redirect the link to %_libdir/winbind_krb5_locator.so which is happily used by libkrb5"

Comment 9 Andreas Schneider 2013-01-28 17:14:49 UTC
There is also a samba4-winbind-krb5-locator plugin. If you install samba4-winbind-krb5-locator and ipa-server-trust-ad then the locator plugin should be the one from IPA.


If both are installed and you uninstall ipa-server-trust-ad the samba4-winbind-krb5-locator plugin should be linked again.
