Hello,
I am having a problem where a user is trying to authenticate to our
European servers while sitting in our Asian office where the link is not
of the best quality.
What he is experiencing is a number of failed authentication attempts.
SSSD version 1.8.5 from Timo Aaltonen's PPA running on Ubuntu 12.04.
auth.log says:
sudo: pam_sss(sudo:auth): Request to sssd failed. Broken pipe
sssd.log says:
[sssd] [monitor_quit] (0x0010): Monitor received Terminated: terminating
children
I am attaching our sssd.conf (template, treat [% ... %] entries as
containing valid information, I can't disclose that).
From what I understand, an LDAP query is being fired, but it cannot
complete due to network going down each now and then.
Can we do something to limit the impact of failed communication attempts?
Best regards,
Bolesław Tokarski
