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 of problem:
sssd hangs at startup with broken configurations

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.9.2-24

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the domain section, set ldap_uri as
ldap_uri = ldap://invalid.example.com, ,ldap://valid.example.com

2. Restart sssd.
  
Actual results:
SSSD hangs at "Starting sssd: "

/var/log/sssd/sssd.log shows
(Mon Nov 26 16:16:33 2012) [sssd] [monitor_quit] (0x0010): [10][No child processes] while waiting for [pam]
(Mon Nov 26 16:16:33 2012) [sssd] [monitor_quit] (0x0010): [10][No child processes] while waiting for [pam]
(Mon Nov 26 16:16:33 2012) [sssd] [monitor_quit] (0x0010): [10][No child processes] while waiting for [pam]


Expected results:
SSSD should not hang at startup. It should fail to start.

Additional info:
SSSD wouldn't hang with version 1.9.2-21. It would simply fail to start:
"Starting sssd:             [FAILED]"

Upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1669

Verified in version 1.9.2-30

With broken config in sssd, startup no longer hangs

# service sssd restart
Stopping sssd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting sssd:                                             [FAILED]
