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 2013-06-13 14:18:44 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1973

Currently the DNS domain name of the local AD domain is used to find global catalog servers with the help of DNS SRV lookups. But to reliable find the global catalog servers not the DNS name of the local domain but the DNS name of the forest has to be used.

If the local domain is the forest root, all is working as expected. But if the local domain is some other domain in a forest this DNS SRV lookup will currently return no results.

A patch is attached to this ticket which uses the forest name, which is returned by the CLDAP ping together with the site name, for global catalog lookups.

But this patch is not complete because I still see issues if the return global catalog server is from a different DNS domain. Additionally it might be useful to reorder the returned server so that servers from the local DNS domain are queried first, because it can be assumed that they are 'nearer' than other servers.

Temporarily moving bugs to MODIFIED to work around errata tool bug
Comment 3 Steeve Goveas 2014-01-30 12:50:03 UTC 
Please add steps for verifying this bug.
Thanks!
Comment 4 Jakub Hrozek 2014-01-30 16:13:31 UTC 
You need a setup with two AD servers that trust each other.

Before the fix, the site discovery only worked for clients that were joined to the forest root.

With the fix, the site discovery would work fine if the client is joined to any of the DCs.
