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 Aleš Mareček 2013-06-05 13:14:43 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #652687 +++

Description of problem:
When configuring a system for ldap lookups in PAM, sudo requires admin to have both /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nss_ldap.conf


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sudo-1.7.4p4

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure system for ldap auth via nss_ldap (/etc/nss_ldap.conf)
2. Attempt to use sudo (fail)
3. cat /etc/nss_ldap.conf > /etc/ldap.conf
4. attempt to use sudo (win)
  
Actual results:
nss_ldap and sudo use different ldap config files

in 1st shell
------------
$ sudo -i
# ps -ef | grep <username>
# strace -o /tmp/strace.out -f -s99 -p <pid-of-bash>

in 2nd shell
------------
$ sudo uptime

in 1st shell
------------
CTRL-C to detach strace, then
review /tmp/strace.out:
# egrep 'ldap\.conf' /tmp/strace.out


Expected results:
nss_ldap and sudo should use same ldap configuration
(either /etc/nss_ldap.conf OR /etc/ldap.conf, but not both)

Additional info:

With %build of the spec file for sudo-1.7.4p4,
configure specifies "--with-ldap" but 
does not specify "--with-ldap-conf-file" 
to be consistent with nss_ldap.

The outcome is a single ldap configuration must exist in two places:
/etc/ldap.conf for sudo
/etc/nss_ldap.conf for nss_ldap
