From 4efbcd9970de72e9661971f9eb8d51c1ed43c078 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sumit Bose Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:42:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] krb5: handle KRB5KRB_ERR_GENERIC as unspecific error KRB5KRB_ERR_GENERIC is a generic error and we cannot make any assumptions about the cause. If there are cases where KRB5KRB_ERR_GENERIC is returned and SSSD should behave differently this must be solved by other means.
