#2987 Improve information about krb5_keytab & ldap_krb5_keytab option in sssd man pages
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by jhrozek.

Improve information about krb5_keytab & ldap_krb5_keytab option in sssd man pages

Currently we have two option to specify krb5_keytab in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

ldap_krb5_keytab (string)
Specify the keytab to use when using SASL/GSSAPI.
Default: System keytab, normally /etc/krb5.keytab

krb5_keytab (string)
The location of the keytab to use when validating credentials obtained from KDCs.
Default: /etc/krb5.keytab

Man pages should clearly reflect, which option is recommended in which auth_provider. The keytab indeed is used for TGT validation but it is also used for SASL/GSSAPI.


trivial issue, can be moved to 1.14 beta as agreed last week on our triage

manpage improvements don't have to block the 1.14 release.

milestone: SSSD 1.14 beta => SSSD 1.14.0

1.14.0 should be released no later than Wednesday next week, this ticket should not block the 1.14.0 release.

milestone: SSSD 1.14.0 => SSSD 1.14.1

This was actually already fixed a long time ago - 763f247 allowed to inherit the keytab into subdomains and cc4caf8 added a follow up fix.

The root cause from the original request (in the downstream BZ) was to allow ldap_krb5_keytab usage for subdomains. I think this is now solved.
