Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Summary: [RFE] Add a new option to disable the Kerberos locator plugin completely

Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: sssd-1.10.0-10.el7.beta2 Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: The SSSD informs the libkrb5 (that is used by programs like kinit or kpasswd) about the Kerberos server it uses. This RFE disables this feature. Reason: Because SSSD only informs about new krb5 servers when it switches to a new server, some environments consider this behaviour unpredictable and prefer to rely on servers defined in krb5.conf solely. Result (if any): If the krb5_use_kdcinfo option is set to False (default is True), sssd never informs libkrb5 about new servers and in turn libkrb5 only uses the servers defined in krb5.conf

Description Dmitri Pal 2013-04-25 13:38:27 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1883

This is a short-term workaround until ticket #941 could be implemented fully.

Sumit proposed that we could add a new Kerberos provider option that would disable creating the kdcinfo files completely. Then the libkrb5 and by extension the sssd too would rely on servers from krb5.conf.
Comment 1 Jakub Hrozek 2013-10-04 13:24:07 UTC 
Temporarily moving bugs to MODIFIED to work around errata tool bug
Comment 3 Nikolai Kondrashov 2013-11-13 16:11:03 UTC 
Verified by sssd krb_provider/misc suite.
