#3120 SSSD fails to start when ldap_user_extra_attrs contains mail
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by jhrozek.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1362023

Description of problem:

For a long time, we've recommended adding mail to ldap_user_extra_attrs when it
should be made available via ifp, for example at

   http://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_App_Authentication/Example_setup

Now that change causes SSSD to fail to start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

sssd-1.14.0-14.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put line ldap_user_extra_attrs = mail, firstname:givenname, lastname:sn to
[domain/*] section of sssd.conf on IPA-enrolled machine.
2. Run systemctl restart sssd

Actual results:

Job for sssd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status sssd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
