Hi all
I updated my RHEL 8 test box today and got sssd-2.3.0-9.el8.x86_64 as an update from sssd-2.2.3-20.el8.x86_64. Prior to the upgrade everything worked fine. Immediately after upgrade sssd fails to restart the critical service [sudo], and fails to start sssd at all, as noted in journalctl -xe.
Are there things that needs to be done to affect a successful upgrade from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0? a conf file change perhaps? I saw mentions of "required conf file changes" in other issues reported in github.
Downgrading back to 2.2.3 and removing the database returns sssd to starting and working. Removing "sudo" as a service from sssd.conf allows sssd to start with 2.3.0-9 installed.
I attempted to use "systemctl enable sssd-sudo" like the man page suggests and the result in the journal is "Dependency failed for SSSD Sudo Service responder socket."
I also noted this in the sssd-sudo man page: "It's important to note that on platforms where systemd is supported there's no need to add the "sudo" provider to the list of services, as it became optional. However, sssd-sudo.socket must be enabled instead."
having enabled the sockect and removed "sudo" from the list of services, it does seem to work and retrieve rules from AD for the user.
Is all of this correct? Is removing "sudo" as a service the answer to this or is it just a workaround? If it is the solution, is there any documentation about changes to configurations from version to version like sudo no longer allowing the service to start if it's explicitly listed as a service?
Just trying to figure out the scope of what will need to change on my fleet. The evidence so far seems to point to just removing "sudo" as a service in sssd.conf. Is that enough? Should "systemctl enable sssd-sudo" be run as well?
Thanks in advance for your insights.
