I think the semi-online status cause SSSD confused about what to do
and causing it to timeout.

So that means no fix for now.
Not for right now.
Please try to capture logs, If you mange to reproduce the issue and provide logs we would be able to see what causes it and address it.

Hi,

I just checked with developer, there is no authentication related code
in the program, we could treat it as normal cron job.

is that possible to make sssd less contact with FreeIPA? for example,
refresh all user info every 5 minutes, else use cache info.

OK, thanks for clarification.
Then it is SSSD.

It would be hard to understand where the problem is.
For authentication SSSD does online if it knows that it is online. Packet
loss can cause it to loose connection and time out.
It might not failing over to offline mode as it is "semi online" because of
the packet loss and retries.

The SSSD logs would really be helpful to diagnose the issue.
Also https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1807 might be what you are looking
for. It is being worked on for the next release.

Hi,

It's an in-house program which runs on one kerberos user.
You need to look what this program is doing.
I suspect it is doing some sort of kinit itself and does not rely on the
PAM
stack, i.e it bypasses SSSD in the given scenario.
Can this be the case?

Hi,

These problem appear randomly, sometime it still work even under heavy
packet loss, some times would be like this. So its hard to catch.

Hi all,

We have cronjob which running on a FreeIPA LDAP user; When connection
between IPA server and client having heavy packet loss, following
error would occur:

CRON[20637]: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication
info

I have cache credentials and store password if offline enabled on
sssd, how these problem would still happening?

It might be that the cause of the problem is actually the packet loss
or
some kind of delay.
SSSD might not think that it is offline but cron job itself times out
and
reports failure.
Do you know what operation in the job fails?


sssd.conf:

cache_credentials = True
krb5_store_password_if_offline = True
Did the use log in at least once offline? You can verify if the
password
has been cached using the ldbsearch utility. It would be best to catch
the occurence of the problem in logs.
