RHBA-2011:0849 - sssd bug fix update
Synopsis
sssd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated sssd packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
SSSD provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms. It provides NSS (Name Service Switch) and PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) interfaces toward the system and a pluggable back end system to connect to multiple different account sources.
This update fixes the following bugs:
-
When the first DNS entry defined in the /etc/resolv.conf file was unreachable, the sssd utility failed to try to connect to any subsequent DNS server to resolve the SRV record. This caused sssd to permanently operate in offline mode. This bug has been fixed and sssd is now able to connect to an alternate server if the primary server is down. (BZ#708352)
-
The sssd client terminated when the ldap_default_authtok_type option was not configured. With this update, the ldap_default_authtok_type option now defaults to "password" if it is not specified in the /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file and the bug no longer occurs. (BZ#708353)
Users of sssd are advised to upgrade to these updated sssd packages, which fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
