#5882 Explain that changed to krb5.conf may require sssd restart
Closed: wontfix 6 years ago Opened 7 years ago by cheimes.

SSSD settings take precedence over some settings in /etc/krb5.conf. The daemon does not keep track of krb5.conf and doesn't automatically reload when the file is changed. This can lead to surprising results. For example it is necessary to restart sssd.service when krb5.conf is altered to use MS-KKDCP instead of plain Kerberos as transport protocol.

Suggestion:
The installer should add a comment at the top of the file and tell users to restart sssd if they change the file manually.
