Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 1292024
Description of problem: freeipa-client is tested on modern distribution only with sssd. I'm not aware os testing with pam_krb5 + nss-pam-ldapd even thought there is such option "--no-sssd" [root@host ~]# ipa-client-install --help | tail -n 7 -S, --no-sssd Do not configure the client to use SSSD for authentication --preserve-sssd Preserve old SSSD configuration if possible uninstall options: --uninstall uninstall an existing installation. The uninstall can be run with --unattended option Therefore it would be good to get rid of strict dependency on pam_krb5. If you do not to remove it completely it would be good to change it to weak dependencies. So pam_krb5 could be removed without removing package freeipa-client. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sh$ rpm -q freeipa-client freeipa-client-4.2.3-2.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q --requires freeipa-client | grep pam_krb5 pam_krb5 Actual results: Output contains "pam_krb5" Expected results: Output does not contain "pam_krb5"
triage result: Deprecate option --no-sssd upstream and warn users about using the option and warn about consequences, remove hard dependencies and instead check for them in the installer.
--no-sssd
If you plan to remove option "--no-sssd" then it would be good to change title of bug.
If you do not plan to deprecate/remove it then please consider to change a single line in spec file.
s/Requires:/Recommends:/ or even better s/Requires:/Suggests:/
This ticket should be just about changing the spec. Deprecation of --no-sssd option will be handled in #5860.
4.4.0 was released, moving open tickets to 4.4.1
