sssd performance on large domains
by zfnoctis＠gmail.com
Hi,
I'm wondering if there are any plans to improve sssd performance on large active directory domains (100k+ users, 40k+ groups), or if there are settings I am not aware of that can greatly improve performance, specifically for workstation use cases.
Currently if I do not set "ignore_group_members = True" in sssd.conf, logins can take upwards of 6 minutes and "sssd_be" will max the CPU for up to 20 minutes after logon, which makes it a non-starter. The reason I want to allow group members to be seen is that I want certain domain groups to be able to perform elevated actions using polkit. If I ignore group members, polkit reports that the group is empty and so no one can elevate in the graphical environment.
Ultimately this means that Linux workstations are at a severe disadvantage since they cannot be bound to the domain and have the normal set of access features users and IT expect from macOS or Windows.
Distributions used: Ubuntu 16.04 (sssd 1.13.4-1ubuntu1.1), Ubuntu 16.10 (sssd 1.13.4-3) and Fedora 24 (sssd-1.13.4-3.fc24). All exhibit the same problems.
I've also tried "ldap_group_nesting_level = 1" without seeing any noticeable improvement with respect to performance. Putting the database on /tmp isn't viable as these are workstations that will reboot semi-frequently, and I don't believe this is an I/O bound performance issue anyways.
Thanks for your time.

kcm, gssproxy and klist
by Winberg Adam
With KCM and gssproxy we often see a long list of credentials when doing a 'klist':
[user.u@lxserv2114 ~]$ klist
Ticket cache: KCM:17098:66803
Default principal: user.u@AD
Valid starting Expires Service principal
01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY:
01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY:
01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY:
01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY:
01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY:
01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY:
01/01/1970 00:00:00 01/01/1970 00:00:00 Encrypted/Credentials/v1@X-GSSPROXY:
and so on...
The actual gssproxy credentials at /var/lib/gssproxy/clients/ does not correspond with this output, it only contains what could be expected - a TGT and maybe some service tickets.
The ever growing 'klist' list of credentials is a problem, after a while the user can no longer get any new credentials and therefore has no access to its NFS homedir (sec=krb5). I'm guessing it's the 'max_uid_ccaches' option in sssd-kcm that prevents this.
What is going on here - have we configured gssproxy/kcm wrong or is this a bug?

sssd: AD range retrieval fails when enumeration is enabled
by R Davies
Hi,
When enumeration is enabled (required due to legacy application), and where
a group has > 1500 members, and AD's MaxValRange is at the default 1500,
then sssd fails to show more than 1500 group members. Group lookups are no
longer accurate.
A further interesting aspect is that if the sssd cache is expired (sssctl
cache-expiry -E), then the correct group membership is shown until such
time as enumeration is processed again (i.e. at most
ldap_enumeration_refresh_timeout + memcache_timeout)
src/providers/ldap/sdap.c's sdap_parse_entry() states:
/* This attribute contained range values and needs more to
> * be retrieved
> */
> /* TODO: return the set of attributes that need additional retrieval
> * For now, we'll continue below and treat it as regular values.
> */
As enumeration is enabled the subsequent ASQ/deref work is never
undertaken. As such sssd only ever processes the initial range retrieved
members (0-1499) (NB that nested groups members are evaluated).
We have looked at the relevant source code, but can't find a way to trigger
Attribute Scope Queries (ASQ)/deref. Indeed, no manner of sssd
configuration settings (other than disabling enumeration - which we sadly
cannot do) appears to change this behaviour. Increasing MaxValRange on AD
defeats the purpose of having MaxValRange.
Has anyone run into this before? Or, should I raise a new issue?
Many Thanks.
R.

ID Views for IPA ID Views for AD users inconsistent resolution
by Louis Abel
I didn't get a response in #sssd, so I figured I'll try here at the mail list.
# rpm -q sssd ipa-server
sssd-1.16.0-19.el7_5.5.x86_64
ipa-server-4.5.4-10.el7_5.3.x86_64
I've been scratching my head trying to resolve this particular issue. I'm having issues with AD users where when they login, they'll get the UID/GID assigned in the ID views correctly, but only some of the time. Other times, they won't get the id view assigned to them. This is all done in the default trust view. What makes this issue even more interesting is that out of my 6 domain controllers, sometimes it'll be one server out of the six that does it, sometimes it's two. But it's never the same ones, so it's difficult to track the particular issue down. What's even more interesting is this is not occurring with some users (like my own). I have yet to see it occur with my account or even the rest of my team's accounts. One of the things I tried to do is delete the ID views of the offending users and recreate them to no avail.
I put SSSD into debug mode on the IPA servers and tried to get some relevant logs and such to try and figure this out. Below is my SSSD configuration, ldb info, and debug logs (removing private information where possible). I'm trying to determine if this is either a bug within SSSD or if this is a misconfiguration on my part.

AD + Smart Card without having the user certificate in AD
by Assaf Morami
Hi all,
Is it possible to have an AD + Smart Card setup, without having the user certificate in AD? meaning have sssd take the certificate straight from the smart card.
If not, is it possible with sss_override to insert the certificate to the sssd cache right before each login?
Thanks,
Assaf.

default_domain_suffix and a files provider.
by Steve Traylen
sssd-2.5.1-2.el8
With a files domain and an ldap domain in simplified form below then all works well for me and passwd files are checked and win
before ldap entries.
However as soon as `default_domain_suffix = mydomain.ch` is added then all the password entries never match
since it is presumably looking up `<username>@mydomain.ch`. While I can understand that this may make sense is there a way
forward to continue to look up in shadowutils domain by username only.
I am unsure of default_domain_suffix only appends the suffix or actually forces the lookup to only happen to the mydomain.ch ldap domain.
```
[sssd]
domains = shadowutils, mydomain.ch
[domain/shadowutils]
id_provider = files
full_name_format = %1$s
auth_provider = proxy
proxy_pam_target = sssd-shadowutils
proxy_fast_alias = True
[domain/mydomain.ch]
id_provider = ldap
full_name_format = %1$s
```
Many Thanks
Steve Traylen.

tips for debugging smartcard authentication failures in sssd?
by James Ralston
We have an air-gapped network of RHEL7 hosts that use sssd to perform
PKINIT (smartcard + Kerberos) authentication against Windows Server
2016 domain controllers.
Setting this up properly entailed setting pkinit_anchors, pkinit_pool,
pkinit_cert_match, et. al. in the krb5.conf file, and enabling
smartcard authentication in gdm. It also entailed adding individual
certificates to each user object’s userCertificate property, which our
Windows guys grumbled about.
(The way Windows performs PKINIT is to find the certificate on the
card that has a Microsoft User Principal Name X509v3 Subject
Alternative Name, extract that value, and then look for the AD user
object that has the same userPrincipalName. But the version of sssd
that shipped with RHEL7 can’t do that SAN/userPrincipalName matching.)
For the most part, this has worked, and worked well. Once again, sssd
has been an invaluable tool.
But.
For some accounts, smartcard authentication does not work, *even
though* you can use kinit to perform PKINIT against the card (e.g., if
you login via password authentication, then insert the smartcard once
you have a shell window to play with).
For the accounts where smartcard authentication works, after you enter
your username in gdm, the card blinks for a few seconds, and then you
are prompted to enter the PIN as follows:
<CN> PIN:
…where <CN> is the value of the CN= field of the certificate Subject
of the certificate on the smartcard that contains the Microsoft UPN
SAN. E.g.:
LASTNAME.FIRSTNAME.123456789 PIN:
For the accounts where smartcard authentication fails, after you enter
your username in gdm, the card blinks for a few seconds, and then you
are prompted to enter the PIN as follows:
PIN for Smartcard:
That PIN prompt is the kiss of death: even if you enter the correct
PIN, authentication will always fail.
We know that our Kerberos configuration (e.g., pkinit_cert_match)
correctly yields one (and only one candidate certificate) from the
smartcard, which is the correct certificate:
pkinit_cert_match = &&<SAN>.*@.*
And running kinit (with PKINIT) against the smartcard works just fine.
But logins fail for some users and not others. Which almost certainly
means that something is derailing sssd. But it’s not obvious what it
is. We’ve double-checked that the userCertificate objects are correct
in AD (that is, they match the smartcard).
Even more confusingly, the accounts for which smartcard authentication
works versus doesn’t work can change over time. For example, a few
weeks ago, my own account worked for smartcard login; now it doesn’t.
But we know we made no configuration changes and applied no package
updates to the host.
I have also had the situation where I got the “PIN for Smartcard” gdm
prompt, rebooted the host, and then got the “<CN> PIN” gdm prompt.
That almost implies an sssd caching issue, or inconsistent
data/behavior between our (two) domain controllers.
Again, these are air-gapped systems, so I can provide no logs; we are
going to have to slog through the sssd logs and figure it out on our
own.
Questions for the list:
* Does this sound familiar to anyone? Have you already been down this
path? If so, what did you discover?
* sssd logging can be quite voluminous (particularly at higher
debugging levels), to the point where I fear I might miss the needle
in the haystack that is indicating the problem. Can anyone provide
some tips on specific areas where I should focus?
Thanks in advance for any tips/advice.

p11_child doesn't use 2nd slot if 1st slot is empy
by Assaf Morami
Hello everyone.
I'm trying to configure smart card login of active directory users on an ubuntu machine.
I'm following this guide: https://scriptech.io/linux-enable-smartcard-authentication-against-active...
But for me the opensc library cannot talk with my card and I'm using a library that my card provider gave my. My issue right now is that `p11_child --pre --nssdb=/etc/pki/nssdb` fails to pull the certificate from my smart card.
I'm able to log in with AD users and their smart cards using `kinit` and `ksu`, so I know the cards are okay.
What's weird to me is that `modutil -list` shows slot 0 as empty and slot 1 as not empty, and then `p11_child --pre` doesn't try to use slot 1. Maybe p11_child thinks that if slot 0 is empty then slot 1 must be empty too?
Please help!
Here are the relevant logs:

Hi,
I'm trying to join AD on Ubuntu 20 machine. When I'm using realm join I'm
always getting error message, insufficient permission even though I'm
admin. My Ubuntu machine and AD machine are under different private ips.
I even configured local DNS and able to do nslookup for srv records. Can
somebody help where I'm missing?
