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-1.9.2-91.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The number of autofs maps returned from the SSSD to the automounter deamon was incorrect in some cases, especially with large automounter maps. Consequence: As a consequence, large automounter maps were not returned reliably to the automounter deamon. Fix: The number of maps returned was fixed to be correct in all cases. Result: Large automounter maps work reliably after the update.

Description Derek Warren 2013-05-27 17:46:54 UTC
Description of problem:
SSSD 1.9.2's autofs component frequently fails to read any automount maps in LDAP.

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

How reproducible:
Very easily.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have lots of automount entries in an LDAP server (~250 in our case).
2. On an SSSD+autofs+LDAP client, run `automount --dumpmaps` 10 times.
3. Behold: you will only get automount maps from LDAP ~30% of the time.

Actual results:
Out of 10 attempts at running `automount --dumpmaps` only attempts #5, 6 and 8  returned automount information from LDAP.

Expected results:
automount --dumpmaps should always return a complete set of automount maps from  LDAP.


Additional info:
This has already been reported against
RHEL7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=891281
Fedora 18: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928447

The bug has already been fixed in SSSD 1.9.5:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1739

This bug is basically a request for the fix to be backported to the base CentOS 6 SSSD package (1.9.2).

Relevant debug output is available in the above tickets.

Comment 2 Jakub Hrozek 2013-05-28 08:24:30 UTC
I agree we should fix this problem in RHEL6.5, too.

Here is a test package, it's the latest 6.4 plus that one patch. Would you mind trying it out?

Comment 3 Derek Warren 2013-05-28 16:03:10 UTC
Thanks for looking at this and for the quick response.

I tested these packages on two CentOS 6.4 hosts and in both cases things look very good.  These hosts were using SSSD and Active Directory for authorization, automount maps, and UID/GID lookups. All existing functionality continued to work.

Let us know if there's anything else we can test for you.
