Thanks for the bug report. Initially I wasn't able to reproduce it with a pristine installation of Ubuntu Bionic + sssd, then aa-enforcing sssd, and then enabling overlayroot=tmpfs. sssd was able to start successfully.
Then, we had a chat on IRC where Andreas let me know that sssd's autopkgtest does have scripts that setup a simple LDAP + sssd auth scheme, so I used that to perform the tests. I download sssd's source, manually ran the debian/tests/ldap-user-group-ldap-auth, which create a "testuser1" in the LDAP database. I also tested that this user is able to login and ssh into the VM. Then, aa-enforced sssd and enabled overlayroot=tmpfs: # mount sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=491068k,nr_inodes=122767,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=100488k,mode=755) /dev/sda2 on /media/root-ro type ext4 (ro,relatime,data=ordered) tmpfs-root on /media/root-rw type tmpfs (rw,relatime) overlayroot on / type overlay (rw,relatime,lowerdir=/media/root-ro,upperdir=/media/root-rw/overlay,workdir=/media/root-rw/overlay-workdir/_) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) ... To no avail: I'm still able to start sssd and perform logins/ssh into the machine. I'll continue investigating tomorrow, but it's important to obtain a reproducer for this one because we will need to SRU it into Bionic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1913470 Title: sssd also needs `attach_disconnected` in its apparmor profile To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1913470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
