[Freeipa-users] Trying to trace why a user cannot login to a client

Hi,

Attached is a munin graph of what looks like a memory leak.....I suspect (if you look at the munin monthly month graph) we had no issue until I think we patched......I need to ask my admins if they did patch .......(they are not in yet).....

Looking at the CPU and memory graphs in VMware the change in stability and leak is also most noticable, yet apart from uping the nsslapd-cachememsize: 10485760 to 18900000 I know of no changes to the system......attached is a vmware graph.....

It now looks like I have to set a cronjob to reboot the IPA servers nightly........

So since ipa2 crashed (or rather the memory-killer killed slapd), this isnt why 1/2 the users could login....that workstation points at ipa2 while others point at ipa1....is my best guess.

regards

The logs only say "[ipa_hbac_evaluate_rules] (3): Access granted by HBAC rule
[desktop-admins-test]". The error must be elsewhere, can you also attach
or paste what does the /var/log/secure and /var/log/sssd/sssd_pam.log
files have to say when the System Error occurs?

Does the System Error occur with both 6.2 and 6.3 packages?

Did you have a chance to take a look at the debug logging?
