#3450 Unnecessary second log event causing much spam to syslog
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 6 years ago by vojamo.

If for some reason the trust relationship to AD is broken (which might be a different bug...), there are two events logged to syslog every 1 minute:

Jul 13 21:12:19 sssd01 [sssd[ldap_child[10975]]]: Failed to initialize credentials using keytab [MEMORY:/etc/krb5.keytab]: Preauthentication failed. Unable to create GSSAPI-encrypted LDAP connection.
Jul 13 21:12:19 sssd01 [sssd[ldap_child[10975]]]: Preauthentication failed

The second line that duplicates the error that is already contained in the first line: "Preauthentication failed", causes syslog to be not able to use the "last message repeated n times" feature.

I suggest to remove the second log event so that syslogd's "last message repeated n times" feature can work.


The first message is from this line https://pagure.io/SSSD/sssd/blob/master/f/src/providers/ldap/ldap_child.c#_453
and second one in done section https://pagure.io/SSSD/sssd/blob/master/f/src/providers/ldap/ldap_child.c#_530

Given that both are in the same function and the second one is called on any failure, I think we could just remove the first one and perhaps add the extended logging the first one has but the second one does not.

All in all, sounds like an easy fix for me..
