sssd performance on large domains
by zfnoctis＠gmail.com 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

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.

ID Views for IPA ID Views for AD users inconsistent resolution
by Louis Abel 01 Aug '21

01 Aug '21

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. $ ldbsearch -H cache_ipa.example.com.ldb name=user.name(a)ad.example.com originalADuidNumber uidNumber originalADgidNumber gidNumber asq: Unable to register control with rootdse! # record 1 dn: name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb originalADuidNumber: 55616902 originalADgidNumber: 55616902 uidNumber: 55616902 gidNumber: 55616902 $ ipa idoverrideuser-show "Default Trust View" user.name(a)ad.example.com Anchor to override: user.name(a)ad.example.com UID: 40001 GID: 40001 Home directory: /home/user.name Login shell: /bin/bash $ ldbsearch -H timestamps_ipa.example.com.ldb | less dn: name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb objectCategory: user originalModifyTimestamp: 20180823172515.0Z entryUSN: 92632390 initgrExpireTimestamp: 1535133621 lastUpdate: 1535128235 dataExpireTimestamp: 1535133635 distinguishedName: name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb ## DEBUG LOGS (Fri Aug 24 16:30:12 2018) [sssd[be[ipa.example.com]]] [sysdb_set_entry_attr] (0x0200): Entry [name=user.name(a)ad.example.com,cn=users,cn=ad.example.com,cn=sysdb] has set [ts_cache] attrs.

sssd with samba
by Edouard Guigné 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Dear sssd users, I would like to get informations about the use of sssd with samba (centos 7, samba 4.8.3). I need it because I configured a samba share, accessible with sssd. The authentication is against a windows AD. My /etc/nsswitch.cnf is configured only with sssd : /passwd: files sss// //shadow: files sss// //group: files sss/ For an other purpose, I set an sftpd access also configured with sssd against the AD. I followed some discussions on the samba user list about samba + sssd. I would like to understand if there are some issues with sssd and samba 4.8.3 on centos 7 ? Or is it with next RHEL 8 ? /The RHEL 8 documentation states this: // //// //"Red Hat only supports running Samba as a server with the winbindd // //service to provide domain users and groups to the local system. Due to // //certain limitations, such as missing Windows access control list (ACL) // //support and NT LAN Manager (NTLM) fallback, SSSD is not supported." // //// //https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/deploying_different_types_of_servers/assembly_using-samba-as-a-server_deploying-different-types-of-servers//// //// //What's confusing is that the RHEL 7 documentation says: // //// //"Prior to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1, only Winbind provided this // //functionality. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 and later, you no longer // //need to run Winbind and SSSD in parallel to access SMB shares. For // //example, accessing the Access Control Lists (ACLs) no longer requires // //Winbind on SSSD clients." // //// //and // //// //"4.2.2. Determining Whether to Use SSSD or Winbind for SMB Shares // //For most SSSD clients, using SSSD is recommended:" // //// //and most worrisome, in my use case: // //// //"In environments with direct Active Directory integration where the // //clients use SSSD for general Active Directory user mappings, using // //Winbind for the SMB ID mapping instead of SSSD can result in // //inconsistent mapping." / In my case, running samba 4.8.3 with SSSD on centos 7 do I need to : - enable and start winbind service , in conjunction to sssd ? - or only sssd is enough with samba ? - Do I have to fear issues in next release of sssd for the support of samba ? especially for acls support ?/ / A nsswitch.conf like : passwd: files sss winbind shadow: files sss winbind group: files sss winbind or passwd: files winbind sss shadow: files winbind sss group: files winbind sss Does not seem to work... I test and this is not stable. Best Regards, Edouard

Enumerate users from external group from AD trust
by Bolke de Bruin 29 Nov '19

29 Nov '19

Hello, I have sssd 1.13.00 working against FreeIPA 4.2 domain. This domain has a trust relationship with a active directory domain. One of the systems we are using requires to enumerate all users in groups by (unfortunate) design (Apache Ranger). This is done by using “getent group”. During this enumeration the full user list for a group that has a nested external member group* is not always returned so we thought to add “getent group mygroup” in order to get more details. Unfortunately this does not seem to work consistently: sometimes this gives information sometimes it does not: [root@master centos]# getent group ad_users ad_users:*:1950000004: [root@master centos]# id bolke(a)ad.local UID=1796201107(bolke(a)ad.local) GID=1796201107(bolke(a)ad.local) groepen=1796201107(bolke(a)ad.local),1796200513(domain users@ad.local),1796201108(test@ad.local) [root@master centos]# getent group ad_users ad_users:*:1950000004:bolke@ad.local <mailto:bolke@ad.local> If I clear the cache (sss_cache -E) the entry is gone again: [root@master centos]# getent group ad_users ad_users:*:1950000004: My question is how do I get sssd to enumerate *all users* in a group consistently? Thanks! Bolke * https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/FreeIPA_Guide/trust-gro…

SSSD strangeness
by simonc99＠hotmail.com 05 Nov '19

Hi All We've got SSSD 1.13.0 installed as part of a Centos 7.2.1511 installation. We've used realmd to join the host concerned to our 2008R2 AD system. This went really well, and consequently we've been using SSSD to provide login services and kerberos integration for our fairly large hadoop system. The authconfig that's implicitly run as part of realmd produces the following sssd.conf: [sssd] domains = <joined domain> config_file_version = 2 services = nss, pam [pam] debug_level = 0x0080 [nss] timeout = 20 force_timeout = 600 debug_level = 0x0080 [domain/<joined domain>] ad_domain = <joined domain> krb5_realm = <JOINED DOMAIN> realmd_tags = manages-system joined-with-samba cache_credentials = true id_provider = ad krb5_store_password_if_offline = True default_shell = /bin/bash ldap_id_mapping = True use_fully_qualified_names = False fallback_homedir = /home/%u@%d access_provider = simple simple_allow_groups = <AD group allowing logins> krb5_use_kdc_info = False entry_cache_timeout = 300 debug_level = 0x0080 ad_server = <active directory server> As I've said - this works really well. We did have some stability issues initially, but they've been fixed by defining the 'ad_server' rather than using autodiscovery. Logins work fine, kerberos TGTs are issued on login, and password changes are honoured correctly. However, in general day to day use, we have noticed a few anomalies, that we just can't track down. Firstly (this has happened a few times), a user will change their AD password (via a Windows PC). Subsequent logins - sometimes with specific client software - fail with pam_sss(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=<remote PC name> user=<username> pam_sss(sshd:auth): received for user <username>: 17 (failure setting user credentials) So in this example, the person concerned has changed their AD password. Further attempts to access this system via SSH work fine. However, using SFTP doesn't work (the above is output into /var/log/secure). There are no local controls on sftp logins, and the user concerned was working fine (using both sftp and ssh) until they updated their password. There is no separate sftp daemon running, and it only affects one individual currently (but we have seen some very similar instances before) The second issue we have is around phantom groups in AD. Hadoop uses an id -Gn command to see group membership for authorisation. With some users - we've seen 6 currently - we see certain groups failing to be looked up: id -Gn <username> id: cannot find name for group ID xxxxyyyyy <group name> <group name> <group name> <group name> <etc...> The xxxxyyyyy indicates: xxxx = hashed realm name yyyyy = RID from group in AD We can't find any group with that number on the AD side! We can work around this by adding a local group (into /etc/group) for the GIDs affected. This means the id -Gn runs correctly, and the hadoop namenode can function correctly - but this is a workaround and we'd like to get to the bottom of the issue. Rather than flooding this post now with logfiles, just thought I'd see if this looked familiar to anyone. Happy to upload any logs, amend logging levels, etc. Many thanks Simon

sssd_be core dumping when ‘realm permit’ command run under puppet control…
by Spike White 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

All, This is a strange one. When we exec this command under puppet control: /usr/sbin/realm permit -R AMER.COMPANY.COM processehcprofiler(a)AMER.COMPANY.COM Then sssd_be core dumps (segfault). When we run that ‘realm permit’ command natively on the command line, it executes flawlessly. No core dump. Naturally, our first thought was that it’s something different in the environment. So we dumped the environment under which puppet exec resource runs. Yes, quite minimal. LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:mi=01;05;37;41:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arc=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lha=01;31:*.lz4=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31:*.tlz=01;31:*.txz=01;31:*.tzo=01;31:*.t7z=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.dz=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.lrz=01;31:*.lz=01;31:*.lzo=01;31:*.xz=01;31:*.zst=01;31:*.tzst=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tbz=01;31:*.tbz2=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.war=01;31:*.ear=01;31:*.sar=01;31:*.rar=01;31:*.alz=01;31:*.ace=01;31:*.zoo=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.7z=01;31:*.rz=01;31:*.cab=01;31:*.wim=01;31:*.swm=01;31:*.dwm=01;31:*.esd=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.jpeg=01;35:*.mjpg=01;35:*.mjpeg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.pbm=01;35:*.pgm=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tiff=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.svg=01;35:*.svgz=01;35:*.mng=01;35:*.pcx=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.m2v=01;35:*.mkv=01;35:*.webm=01;35:*.ogm=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.m4v=01;35:*.mp4v=01;35:*.vob=01;35:*.qt=01;35:*.nuv=01;35:*.wmv=01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.rm=01;35:*.rmvb=01;35:*.flc=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=01;35:*.flv=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:*.xcf=01;35:*.xwd=01;35:*.yuv=01;35:*.cgm=01;35:*.emf=01;35:*.ogv=01;35:*.ogx=01;35:*.aac=01;36:*.au=01;36:*.flac=01;36:*.m4a=01;36:*.mid=01;36:*.midi=01;36:*.mka=01;36:*.mp3=01;36:*.mpc=01;36:*.ogg=01;36:*.ra=01;36:*.wav=01;36:*.oga=01;36:*.opus=01;36:*.spx=01;36:*.xspf=01;36: LD_LIBRARY_PATH= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 HISTCONTROL=ignoredups HOSTNAME=austgcore25.us.company.com S_COLORS=auto PWD=/root APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none MAIL=/var/spool/mail/root SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm SHLVL=2 MANPATH=:/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/share/man PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin HISTSIZE=1000 LESSOPEN=||/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s _=/bin/env But when we create a bash session with no environment, then add this puppet-supplied environment and run the above realm permit– all is still well.

What we suspect is that the shell in which puppet executes this ‘realm permit’ is not supplying something that this executable needs. If we know what it is, we can preface our puppet exec resource code snippet with the missing piece. Spike PS This ‘realm permit’ does seem to perform the correct actions eventually. It adds the expected user to the simple_allow_users line of the appropriate AD domain in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file. But because it segfaults and then has to start up again, it takes a very long time to complete the puppet run. (There’s about 20 – 30 users + groups allowed; it has to segfault on each of them).

[AD] Filter out disabled users
by Hinrikus Wolf 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

Hi, we are currently running a Samba AD DC Server with sssd on clients. Now we want to run sssd also on our mail server with postfix + dovecot. Postfix and dovecot get their users from NSS i.e. from sssd. In our Domain there are several disabled users (via User Account Control Bit). Any of these users are listed in NSS. Unfortunately, they can receive emails, because they are existing in the user database of NSS. But they cannot login to read mails or even answer. We would like to filter out disables users from NSS s.t. postfix will not accept emails for disabled users. We searched in man 5 sssd-ad but did not find a config option for this use case. Do you have any idea what we could do to achieve the desired behaviour? Thanks a lot. Best regards Rikus

[AD] User discovery/enumeration issue due to domain settings
by Christian Lamparter 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Hello Folks, I'm currently setting up sssd (Debian 1.16.3) on Debian Buster 10.0 and I ran into a problem that I was able to trace down to the domain permission/security settings that placed the users into a special OU that machine accounts can't read. First a bit of background: Currently, there's a way to use winbind + friends in order to join and auth users on the domain. But due to limitations (unreliable no home directories, gid/uid mapping issues, etc.), I want to give sssd a try and I tested this with both of the current Debian sssd version 1.16.3 and 2.2.0-4 (from unstable / sid / rolling release). I successfully used the "realm" utility to discover and setup the sssd.conf === # realm discover -v DOMAIN (named changed) * Resolving: _ldap._tcp.domain * Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 1x.y.z.1 * Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 1z.a.b.c * Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 1d.e.f.g * Successfully discovered: domain domain type: kerberos realm-name: DOMAIN domain-name: domain configured: no server-software: active-directory client-software: sssd required-package: sssd-tools required-package: sssd required-package: libnss-sss required-package: libpam-sss required-package: adcli required-package: samba-common-bin # realm join -v -U me@DOMAIN domain * Resolving: _ldap._tcp.domain * Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 1x.y.z.1 * Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 1z.a.b.c * Performing LDAP DSE lookup on: 1d.e.f.g * Successfully discovered: domain Password for me@DOMAIN: ******* * Unconditionally checking packages * Resolving required packages [...] * Generated 120 character computer password * Using keytab: FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab * Found computer account for COMPUTER * Set computer password * Retrieved kvno '14' for computer account in directory: ... * Modifying computer account: userAccountControl * Modifying computer account: operatingSystemVersion, operatingSystemServicePack * Modifying computer account: userPrincipalName * Cleared old entries from keytab: FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab * Discovered which keytab salt to use * Added the entries to the keytab: ... * /usr/sbin/update-rc.d sssd enable * /usr/sbin/service sssd restart * Successfully enrolled machine in realm === /etc/sssd/sssd.conf [sssd] domains = domain config_file_version = 2 services = nss, pam, ifp # added ifp [domain/domain] ad_domain = domain krb5_realm = DOMAIN realmd_tags = manages-system joined-with-adcli cache_credentials = True id_provider = ad krb5_store_password_if_offline = True default_shell = /bin/bash ldap_id_mapping = True use_fully_qualified_names = True fallback_homedir = /home/%u@%d access_provider = ad === klist shows a valid ticket and everything seemed to be working. But when I was trying to login (yes, I made sure that my time is synced and I made sure /etc/nssswitch.conf was correct) with my "me@domain" login it never worked. I tried also id me@domain and sssctl (had to add ifp, seems like realm doesn't add) but it wasn't working for my login. After trying a lot of different combinations with different id, auth_providers and ldap I discovered that the AD Server is setup in such a way (probably due to DSVGO) that the Domain-PC Accounts are not allowed to read from the OU where all the staff users are placed. And indeed, when I copied the exact search query from the sssd_domain log with debug-level 7 and instructed ldapsearch to use GSSAPI with the Domain-PC ticket I always got a "not found". However, when I used simple bind with "me@domain" + password auth I got the request worked. So, I wonder if it is possible to extend sssd in such a way that id lookups could be performed with the provided either a provided user secret instead of the machine secret? Regards, Christian

Could not convert objectSID ... to a UNIX ID
by Gordon Messmer 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

I have what I think is an odd situation. One of the users I support is complaining that he is unable to log in to his domain-member Linux system. After enabling debug logging, I've found the error "Could not convert objectSID ... to a UNIX ID" in the logs. The RID is greater than 200000, so I believe I need to adjust the allowed range and delete the sssd cache, and then fix all of the files on the filesystem which are owned by domain users. The first odd part is that the user is actually able to log in to this system for a while, and is able to log in to other hosts that are also running sssd-1.16.2-13.el7_6.8.x86_64 on CentOS 7.6. If I can figure out why that is, I hope that leads us to a solution that isn't as intrusive as the one described above. Does anyone have a guess why this might only affect one host right now, and only after a few days of use? I'm not sure why our RIDs would be unusually large, unless it is because we have users that create short-lived VMs, join them to the domain, and then destroy them very frequently. What is the recommended practice for domains with large and rapidly incrementing RIDs? What are the implications of increasing the ID map range? At one point in troubleshooting, we saw this in the log. Does increasing the range come at a memory cost?
