#3973 The kdcinfo plugin should be able to resolve host names
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago by jhrozek. Opened 6 years ago by jhrozek.

The interface the locator plugin uses to communicate with libkrb5 is a
callback function provided by the caller (libkrb5), SSSD is supposed
to pass a struct sockaddr to the caller. The Kerberos locator plugin
is already capable of iterating over multiple addresses, but currently
really only numerical addresses are supported and the plugin converts
the string representation of the address into struct sockaddr by calling
getaddrinfo(3) with the AI_NUMERICHOST parameter. We should extend
the locator plugin code by calling getaddrinfo for entries that do not
represent an address to resolve a host name and pass its address. This
can be a first self-contained step in the implementation of https://docs.pagure.org/SSSD.sssd/design_pages/kdcinfo_multiple_servers.html
