Re: [Hampshire] SSSD - Any experience

[Chris Malton]

Eventually got to the bottom of it on #sssd.

It turned out that I was configuring Kerberos 5 to run in krb4 mode - 
therefore, sssd was going "I don't know how to talk to this library - 
let's fail with a 'System Error'"


Not a helpful error - but now sorted.

Hi all,

If anyone has any experience with breaking (and preferably 
subsequently fixing) SSSD authentication against a Windows 2008 
domain from Ubuntu 14.04 I'd be eternally grateful.


I am currently stumped as to why:
- "getent passwd DOMAIN\user" returns the right result
- I can use "su" to switch to that user no problem
- I can't use "DOMAIN\user" as a username to log on via shell or SSH.

I've had the guys in #sssd trying to figure it out as well, and 
they're struggling.


Any thoughts?

Regards,

Chris

[Hampshire] SSSD - Any experience

This page suggests those reports aren't true but the council are 
reviewing IT systems.

The previous long serving social democrat - green coalition has recently 
changed to a social democrat (equiv labour) - csu (equiv conservative) 
coalition with a change of mayor to boot. Microsoft are planning to move 
their German HQ to Munich in 2016 so I think that it may not be all to 
do with the success or failure of the now maturing migration. It 
certainly isn't realising that Linux has been a disaster.
I have a maintenance contract with an international agency based in 
Munich and visit occasionally. A German colleague told me that new 
bosses "like to piss in every corner" when they start so this could be a 
ritual bounds setting or some behind the scenes manipulation by Microsoft.
Munich is a fine city, world leading in many aspects such as alternative 
energy, public transport and waste management. I thought that it was 
characteristic when they started the migration away from Microsoft. 
Hopefully the migration was as successful as it appears and the evidence 
is so strong that the politicians,

however influenced, cannot go back. If so I hope they get Windows 8.

I'm not convinced that there is much in this. I wouldn't treat it as fact until 
Munich council release a statement saying that they are returning to Windows.
