#1139 Race-condition bug in LDAP auth provider
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by sgallagh.

Under heavy load, occasionally an LDAP auth request will fail with "System Error".

Further investigation shows that the {{{sdap_call_conn_cb()}}} function is being invoked with a zero-length URI value when this occurs.

I am currently working under the assumption that this is a timing issue with the failover code. (i.e. A second request at the same time causes the global URI value to be freed between the first request's failover server acquisition and the actual LDAP communication setup).

This was seen in a customer environment and I haven't found a consistent way to reproduce it yet.


For the record, the customer has been running sssd-1.5.1-66.el6_2.1.x86_64
