#903 [RFE] sssd shouldn't use ipv6 if it is disabled
Closed: wontfix 3 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 12 years ago by dpal.

Description of problem:
If ipv6 is unavailable for your network, and the system has NETWORKING_IPV6=no
marked in /etc/sysconfig/networking, SSSD still tries to use ipv6
automatically. SSSD should be intelligent enough to not try to use ipv6 if it's
marked disabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-34.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
intermittent

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up SSSD
2. disable ipv6 via adding NETWORKING_IPV6=no to /etc/sysconfig/network
3. try to authenticate

Actual results:
timeouts occur because ipv6 is not enabled on the network

Expected results:
ipv6 dns requests should not occur

Additional info:
You can currently disable ipv6 for a service if you manually enter
lookup_family_order=ipv4_only.

This is not required earlier than next year this setting 1.7 right away.
