RHBA-2012:0440 - sssd bug fix update

Synopsis

sssd bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated sssd packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The sssd packages contain a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and authentication mechanisms.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • If an LDAP server had the paging control module installed but not enabled or if a highly loaded LDAP server was restricted to a single page search operation at the time, SSSD could unexpectedly deny simple paged search requests with the following error message:

    Unexpected result from ldap: Server is unwilling to perform(53), Simple Paged Results Search already in progress on this connection.

This update implements the "ldap_disable_paging" option, which allows SSSD to disable the LDAP paging control. With this option set, the number of SSSD lookups is limited to the maximum defined by the LDAP server and SSSD no longer fails with aforementioned error in this scenario. (BZ#806765)

All users of sssd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
