Another possible solution would be to enable debugging for ldb functions.
So we might see also action and not only result.

curl -O /usr/local/lib64/sss_ldb_debug.so https://lslebodn.fedorapeople.org/sss_ldb_debug/sss_ldb_debug.so
echo "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib64/sss_ldb_debug.so" >> /etc/sysconfig/sssd

* clear sssd cache and old sssd log files; rm -f /var/lib/sssd/db/* /var/log/sssd/*
* increase debug_level in domain section
* restart sssd
* reproduce problem

An provide sanitized log files. Feel free to send them privately
if you do not want to send them to mailing list.


The problem with this - in the short term - is that we know clearing the sssd cache will fix the problem, so it reproduction will need to wait until the next person is added that this happens to.

When I look at this problem, the biggest issue for us is that magic combination of: despite all servers being identically set up (via Ansible and Katello), this is the only server that it happens on; it doesn't happen every time we add a user; and while we know clearing the cache works - we could automate that as part of the add new user process - clearing cache also kills working sessions on a busy server. Making it impractical and inconvenient to the other users.

But I will add this debug.so for you and do these things and next time it happens I'll slice the log files up for you?

(Thanks for the help)
