#1303 SSSD is slow at startup
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by spoore.

SSSD appears to be taking more than 2+ seconds to start and be able to properly respond to queries in an IPA setup.

I saw this in RHEL but, it was suggested that I open an RFE upstream. The version I was using was 1.8.0-17. This was seen on an IPA Master server.

Is it possible to speed this up without sacrificing something?

From Jakub Hrozek's explanation:
<snip>
SSSD first starts all the back ends (aka domains), then all services
including NSS and PAM. The problem is, that the SSSD IPA domains startup
is taking quite a long time. I added more debugging and it seems that
the biggest culprit is selecting the correct principal from keytab. With
all the debugging on (which admittedly slows things down quite a bit),
one pass of the principal selection function takes more than a second.
For some reason, we are calling the principal selection twice - I assume
that's for identity and authentication parts of the back end but I could
be wrong.
