#8189 NIghtly test failure in test_integration/test_nfs.py::TestIpaClientAutomountFileRestore::test_nsswitch_backup_restore_sssd
Closed: fixed 3 years ago by frenaud. Opened 4 years ago by frenaud.

The nightly test [testing_master_rawhide] Nightly PR failed in test_integration/test_nfs.py::TestIpaClientAutomountFileRestore::test_nsswitch_backup_restore_sssd in PR #132. Logs available at the following location.

The test is comparing the content of /etc/nsswitch.conf before backup and after restore. Logs:

Taking for investigation

Actual diff between the original rawhide system and after ipa-client-install + ipa-client-install --uninstall:

At ipa-client-install time we get:

DEBUG    ipatests.pytest_ipa.integration.host.Host.master.cmd13:transport.py:557 WARNING: The configuration pre-client installation is not managed by authselect and cannot be backed up. Uninstallation may not be able to revert to the original state.

This makes sense as the default authselect configuration is exactly this: no profile.

# authselect current
No existing configuration detected.

Enrolling the client:

# ipa-client-install --mkhomedir
# authselect current
Profile ID: sssd
Enabled features:
- with-mkhomedir
- with-sudo

Unenroll:

# ipa-client-install --uninstall -U
# authselect current
Profile ID: sssd
Enabled features: None

I have verified that user-nsswitch.conf is identical post-uninstall as it was originally.
The diff between the original nsswitch.conf and the post-uninstall nsswitch.conf is reduced to:

which makes sense as authselect ends up with the sssd profile.
The actual fix is to restore the authselect configuration from backup:

# authselect backup-list
2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6 (created at Fri 07 Feb 2020 11:33:43 PM CET)
2020-02-07-22-38-28.Uukas2 (created at Fri 07 Feb 2020 11:38:28 PM CET)

The first entry is the backup done right before ipa-client-install - the nsswitch.conf is identical to the default. But restoring that backup fails:

# authselect backup-restore 2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6
[error] Unable to restore [2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6] [2]: No such file or directory
Unable to restore backup [2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6] [2]: No such file or directory

Using strace, we see it successively choke on:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/lib/authselect/backups/2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6/dconf-db", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

and:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/lib/authselect/backups/2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6/dconf-locks", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Simply creating empty files:

# touch /var/lib/authselect/backups/2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6/dconf-db
# touch /var/lib/authselect/backups/2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6/dconf-locks

makes it work:

# authselect backup-restore 2020-02-07-22-33-43.M8fOg6

and the backuped config is now identical to the original:

config]# md5sum nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf
5cc1a8341dbebe35bab636912a0e4b47  nsswitch.conf
5cc1a8341dbebe35bab636912a0e4b47  /etc/nsswitch.conf

Summary:
- we need to enhance ipaplatform/redhat/authconfig.py to save the ID of the backup after ipa-client-install into ipabackup
- and to use use authselect backup-restore mechanism at uninstall time, using the above ID
- authselect must be fixed before that as the above smells like a bug.

we need to enhance ipaplatform/redhat/authconfig.py to save the ID of the backup after ipa-client-install into ipabackup

You can also call authselect select sssd --force --backup=NAME to provide a custom backup name.

authselect is now considering adding a minimal profile so there are two possibilities: either name the backup or go back to the upcoming minimal profile.

Minimal profile is not the default profile so it would be better to use backup mechanism a return to whatever was there before IPA installation.

- Custom field changelog adjusted to Previously, ipa-client-installation saved the pre-install state using "authselect current" command and the uninstallation reverted to the same authselect state. In cases where the system was installed using authconfig instead of authselect, the uninstallation was unable to revert to the same state and picked "sssd"'s authselect profile instead. Now, the client installation relies on the backup functionality of authselect and is able to revert to the exact pre-install state
