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 Jakub Hrozek 2013-01-05 20:13:14 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1740

SSSD attempts to use fqdn$@DOMAIN rather than shorthostname$@DOMAIN.  This means it fails to find a usable credential on a machine joined to Active Directory, and is looking for a principal that's very unlikely to exist.

Since 4ee7f390af4193656c1e6ba45c9c3c14dd64a8a9, searching for *$ has been removed, so the short form is never found.  As a result, AD configurations that worked prior to this update that don't explicitly set ldap_sasl_authid now fail to find a suitable credential.
Comment 2 Jakub Hrozek 2013-01-07 14:51:59 UTC 
To test, enroll a machine with AD.

Check the keytab with klist -k, usually the keytab will contain both host/hostname@REALM and SHORTNAME$@REALM. Without the patch, you'll have to specify ldap_sasl_authid manually, with the patch, the SSSD should select the correct principal on its own.

Verified in version 1.9.2-68
