All,
Successful sssd consumer here.
Have an app team running Hadoop. They're getting these performance errors in their app.
This is from their app logs.
ddlflhdm201.us.company.com WARN June 15, 2023 10:08 AM Groups Potential performance problem: getGroups(user=hbase) took 58022 milliseconds ddlflhdm304.us.company.com WARN June 15, 2023 8:38 AM Groups Potential performance problem: getGroups(user=mapred) took 39962 milliseconds ddlplhdm505.us.company.com WARN June 16, 2023 5:37 AM Groups Potential performance problem: getGroups(user=hdfs) took 62437 milliseconds. ddlplhdm305.us.company.com WARN June 15, 2023 9:36 PM Groups Potential performance problem: getGroups(user=hdfs) took 58017 milliseconds
ddlplhdm505.us.company.com WARN June 10, 2023 8:01 AM Groups Potential performance problem: getGroups(user=yarn) took 58017 milliseconds.
Interestingly, all these users are local users created by the Hadoop package installation. (hbase, mapred, hdfs, yarn are all local users).
These local users are members only of local groups. So theoretically the search for group memberships should be lightning quick as the groups are found only in /etc/group.
But since my /etc/nsswitch.conf looks like this:
passwd: files systemd sss
group: files systemd sss
netgroup: files sss
automount: files sss
services: files
shadow: files sss
hosts: files dns myhostname
It not only searches local files for group membership, it searches AD as well. And doesn't find it, as there is no such AD user or uid. Eventually timing out.
In /var/log/messages we see this around the same time frame as
Jun 15 10:08:09 ddlflhdm201 sssd[be[amer.company.com]]: GSSAPI Error: An invalid name was supplied (Success)
Is there a way to restrict these particular local app accounts from having their group memberships looked up in AD?
I.e., my [nss] section looks like this today:
[nss] #debug_level = 9 filter_groups = root filter_users = root #override_homedir = /home/%u
Can I do this?
[nss] filter_users = root, hbase, mapred, hdfs, yarn
And would I want to set filter_users_in_groups = false?
