The issue is here: (Mon Sep 11 11:16:15 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [sdap_id_conn_data_expire_handler] (0x0080): connection is about to expire, releasing it (Mon Sep 11 11:16:15 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [sdap_id_conn_data_expire_handler] (0x0080): connection is about to expire, releasing it (Mon Sep 11 11:17:50 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [fo_resolve_service_send] (0x0100): Trying to resolve service 'EXAMPLE' (Mon Sep 11 11:17:50 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [collapse_srv_lookup] (0x0100): Need to refresh SRV lookup for domain London._sites.example.com (Mon Sep 11 11:17:50 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [resolv_getsrv_send] (0x0100): Trying to resolve SRV record of '_ldap._tcp.example.com' (Mon Sep 11 11:17:50 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [resolv_gethostbyname_files_send] (0x0100): Trying to resolve A record of 'dc07.example.com' in files (Mon Sep 11 11:17:50 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [resolv_gethostbyname_files_send] (0x0100): Trying to resolve AAAA record of 'dc07.example.com' in files (Mon Sep 11 11:17:50 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [resolv_gethostbyname_dns_query] (0x0100): Trying to resolve A record of 'dc07.example.com' in DNS (Mon Sep 11 11:17:56 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [fo_resolve_service_timeout] (0x0080): Service resolving timeout reached (Mon Sep 11 11:17:56 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [sdap_id_op_connect_done] (0x0020): Failed to connect, going offline (5 [Input/output error]) (Mon Sep 11 11:17:56 2017) [sssd[be[EXAMPLE]]] [be_run_offline_cb] (0x0080): Going offline. Running callbacks. So this is a known bug where locating the site (even though we know it already) can contact the DCs outside that site. In the meantime, until the fix is released, you can hardcode the site using the 'ad_site' option. _______________________________________________ sssd-users mailing list -- sssd-users@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to sssd-users-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org
