On a RHEL5.8 system authenticating to Windows 2008 using sssd, fail-over doesn't seem to work when multiple AD servers are specified
Issue
- On a RHEL5.8 system authenticating to Windows 2008using sssd, fail-over doesn't seem to work when multiple AD servers are specified
- When sssd is used for AD authentication kerberos fail-over doesn't work when multiple AD controllers are mentioned
Example: In the below example we have 3 AD servers mentioned
krb5_server = server1.example.com, server2.example.com, server3.example.com
ldap_uri = ldap://server1.example.com, ldap://server2.example.com, ldap://server3.example.com
if server1, server2 are unavailable sssd fails to use the server3 AD server to authenticate the user.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8
- sssd-1.5.1-49.el5_8.1.x86_64
- Windows 2008 R2 servers
- 4 AD controllers are mentioned in sssd.conf for failover
