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.

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.

file provider with multiple kerberos realms
by Techie
Main goal is to authenticate against multiple Kerberos Realms, AD domains
without joining the Linux box to AD.
We have an AD forest with 2 trusted domains and as a result 2 kerberos
realms, 1 per domain. On RHEL5,6,7 I used pam_krb5 for authentication and
passwd/group files for the user store. This allowed me to authenticate
against AD for users in the passwd file that match the KBR5 principal. In
system-auth/password-auth I would stack pam entries for each KRB5 REALM
Parent: EXAMPLE.COM
Domain1: ADA.EXAMPLE.COM
Domain2:ADB.EXAMPLE.COM
passwd user: joe_doe
krb5 principal: joe_doe(a)ADA.EXAMPLE.COM
passwd user: joe_blow
krb5 principal: joe_blow(a)ADB.EXAMPLE.COM
system-auth
auth sufficient pam_krb5.so realm=ADA.EXAMPLE.COM use_first_pass
auth sufficient pam_krb5.so realm=ADB.EXAMPLE.COM use_first_pass
In this case either joe_doe or joe_blow can log in via AD credentials and
pam would iterate through the stacked pam_krb5 entries to locate the
matching krb5 principal
I am trying to replicate this on redhat enterprise linux 8. I am aware
pam_krb5 is not an option and that sssd is the default for this use case.
What I cannot figure out is how to authenticate against multiple Domains in
SSSD. If I define 1 domain in sssd.conf with id_provider = files. I can
authenticate fine against the single domain/kerberos5 realm.
If I add multiple domains, sssd does not iterate through them, it fails if
it does not find the user in the first domain.
[sssd]
config_file_version = 2
reconnection_retries = 3
sbus_timeout = 30
services = nss, pam
domains = ADA.EXAMPLE.COM,ADB.EXAMPLE.COM
[pam]
#pam_local_domains = all
[domain/ADA.EXAMPLE.COM]
id_provider = files
auth_provider=krb5
krb5_server = adadc.ada.example.com
krb5_kpasswd = adadc.ada.example.com
krb5_realm = ADA.EXAMPLE.COM
dns_discovery_domain =ADA.EXAMPLE.COM
krb5_validate = false
[domain/ADB.EXAMPLE.COM
id_provider = files
auth_provider=krb5
krb5_server = adbdc.adb.example.com
krb5_kpasswd = adbdc.adb.example.com
krb5_realm =ADB.EXAMPLE.COM
dns_discovery_domain = ADB.EXAMPLE.COM
krb5_validate = false
Is what I am attempting possible without joining AD and using the provider
of AD? I would like to avoid this at all costs.
Thanks

sssd-krb5, krb5_ccachedir, DIR-cache-store...
by Jostein Fossheim
We are working with several kerberos-REALMS and are trying to get our clients to store their kerberos tickets in a DIRECTORY. This seems to work nicely for clients not authenticating at login, with the following configuration set in /etc/krb5.conf.
...
[libdefaults]
...
default_ccache_name = DIR:/tmp/krb5cc_%{uid}
...
user@server:~$ klist
Ticket cache: DIR::/tmp/krb5cc_888/tkt
Default principal: user@REALM
Valid starting Expires Service principal
09/22/19 17:35:50 09/23/19 17:35:48 krbtgt/user@REALM
Each ticket is stored in a separate file.
For clients using sssd for login, I want to set up the same behavior. But when I attempt to login the system creates an "/tmp/krb5cc_${UiD}" - but here the directory don't get the excutable bit set (that is the directory get 0600-permission), and the login fails.
In the man-page from Debian-buster (sssd-version: 1.16.3), there are to settings that seems to regulate this behaviour :
krb5_ccachedir (string)
Directory to store credential caches. All the substitution sequences of krb5_ccname_template can be used here, too, except %d and %P. The directory is created as private and owned by the user, with permissions set to 0700.
Default: /tmp
krb5_ccname_template (string)
Location of the user's credential cache. Three credential cache types are currently supported: "FILE", "DIR" and "KEYRING:persistent". The cache can be specified either as TYPE:RESIDUAL, or as an absolute path, which implies the "FILE" type. In the template, the following sequences are substituted:
[...]
If the template ends with 'XXXXXX' mkstemp(3) is used to create a unique filename in a safe way.
When using KEYRING types, the only supported mechanism is "KEYRING:persistent:%U", which uses the Linux kernel keyring to store credentials on a per-UID basis. This is also the recommended choice, as it is the most secure and predictable method.
The default value for the credential cache name is sourced from the profile stored in the system wide krb5.conf configuration file in the [libdefaults] section. The option name is default_ccache_name. See krb5.conf(5)'s PARAMETER EXPANSION paragraph for additional information on the expansion format defined by krb5.conf.
NOTE: Please be aware that libkrb5 ccache expansion template from krb5.conf(5) uses different expansion sequences than SSSD.
Default: (from libkrb5)
...
I have tried to both set and unset, the two parameters in question like this:
krb5_ccachedir = /tmp/krb5cc_%U
krb5_ccname_template = DIR: %d
krb5_ccname_template = DIR:%d/krb5cc_%U_XXXXXX
But the configuration-options seems to be ignored, no matter what I do, and I have the same behavior: A non-executable directory is created and the user is unable to login.
If I set the +x bit on the directory manually as the root-user, everything works.

sssd with samba
by Edouard Guigné
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.

Edouard

Active Directory site discover with LDAPS
by Vjay
Hi,
We are trying to use Active Directory site discovery feature for our SSSD configurations. Our Domain Controllers are running on Windows 2016 / 2019 OS. We are not joining our Linux machines to AD Domain and use following sssd domain configurations.
[domain/default]
auth_provider = krb5
cache_credentials = True
chpass_provider = krb5
dns_discovery_domain = NORWAY._sites.AD.MYDOMAIN.COM
debug_level = 7
enumerate = False
id_provider = ldap
krb5_realm = AD.MYDOMAIN.COM
ldap_default_authtok = xxxx
ldap_default_authtok_type = obfuscated_password
ldap_default_bind_dn = xxxx
ldap_schema = ad
ldap_search_base = ou=base,dc=ad,dc=mydomain,dc=com
use_fully_qualified_names = False
ldap_id_mapping = True
default_shell = /bin/bash
ldap_tls_cacertdir = /etc/openldap/certs
ldap_user_fullname = displayName
ldap_user_gecos = displayName
ldap_user_objectsid = objectSid
ldap_group_objectsid = objectSid
ldap_use_tokengroups = False
ignore_group_members = true
Here with site discovery, it is able to find the nearest domain controller but it is trying to connect with LDAP server on port 389. Our domain controllers are only allowing connections on port 636 so the requests from linux servers are getting rejected.
If I directly configure domain controller names in ldap_uri settings like below and remove site discover configurations, everything is working fine.
ldap_uri = ldaps://mydc.mydomain.com
But we don't want to hard code our domain controllers in configurations. Is there a way to use AD site discovery feature with ldaps?
Thanks for your time.

Migrating to new LDAP server in sssd.conf
by Vjay
Hi Friends,
As a security requirement, we have to migrate LDAP servers from one active directory domain to other active directory domain. Old active directory LDAP servers are providing unix attributes for linux servers(centos 7) while new active directory LDAP servers don't so we have to migrate unix attribute management to sssd, which will change userid and groupid of all users.
Does SSSD provide feature to keep / store userid and groupid from old domain of users so we don't have change file ownership on linux server side for the files owned by active directory users?

Vjay
