#3815 KCM: The secdb back end might fail creating a new ID with a completely empty database
Closed: Fixed 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by jhrozek.

If the security database is completely empty and libkrb5 calls the nextid operation, it would fail, because it tries to list the keys in the database, but doesn't handle ENOENT (no keys in the database).

This is not a problem for kinit for some reason, but it is for krb5_child. Probably there is some difference in what libkrb5 calls are called from kinit versus krb5_child and because our upstream tests only test KCM with kinit, we never caught this.

At least we now have a test for a full login with https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/pull/642 so we shouldn't regress in the future.
