Hi Martin
Thanks for updating the documenation!
The suggested solution works not only my test servers, but also
"in the
real world". This morning I migrated the last production server
(ipa host)
to the new FreeIPA KDC.
Just out of idle curiosity, why is the rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/*
step
required on our EL 7.1 + ipa-client 4.1 boxes, but not on our
older EL 6.5
+ ipa-client 3.3.3 machines?
Is the problem down to sssd? (on the EL 6.5 machines we are
running sssd
1.9.2, while on EL 7.1 we have sssd 1.12.2
I think there are more object types supported by newer SSSD
versions
which aren't invalidated like users or groups.

Hi All
I can now report back success (at least on my throwaway EL7.1
test VM).
To switch an EL 7.1 + ipa-client 4.1 host from an old FreeIPA
3.3.3 KDC
to
a new FreeIPA 4.1 KDC 3 steps are required:
1) ipa-client-install --uninstall
2) rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/*
3) ipa-client-install --server ldap.my.example.com --domain
my.example.com
-N
Having done this, my free-ipa user successfully authenticates
(e.g. ssh
remote login with free-ipa user / password
To switch EL 6.5 + ipa-client 3.3.3 hosts step 2) was not
required.
Kudos and thanks go to Rob C for suggesting step 2. (Note that
the
directory to be purged is /var/lib/sss/db/,
not /var/lib/sssd/db/ as
suggested earlier in this thread.
Cool! Thanks for reaching back. I added this advice to the FreeIPA
Troubleshooting guide too:

Hi all
This is a quick(ish) note to bring everybody up to speed on
this issue.
Yesterday we had some private mail exchange on this issue as I
did not
wish
to broadcast the krb5 and ipa install logs to the user list.
The basic situation is that we are in the process of migrating
from an
FreeIPA 3.3.3 Server (KDC) to a new FreeIPA 4.1 Server (KDC).
As
discussed
in a thread some weeks ago we did not do this by replicating
(as perhaps
we
should have done). Instead we migrated the users across.
We have 30+ servers that are IPA clients ("Hosts" in ipa-speak)
joined
to
the old KDC. We are now in the process of migrating these hosts
to the
new
4.1 KDC.
Most of the hosts run EL 6.5 + ipa-client 3.3.3. For all of
these
joining
to the new KDC was trouble free, taking a few minutes each.
After
joining
the new KDC FreeIPA users authenticated properly.
We also had a small number of new EL 7.1 + ipa-client 4.1 hosts
that
were
joined direct to the new 4.1 KDC, never having been joined of
the 3.3.3
KDC. These were also trouble free.
The problem occurs with a handful of existing EL 7.1
+ipa-client 4.1
hosts
that were originally joined to the 3.3.3 KDC, and must be moved
to join
the
4.1 KDC. These machines no longer authenticate valid FreeIPA
users. I
have
been able to reproduce this behaviour with a freshly setup VM
joined
first
to the 3.3.3 KDC, then moved to the 4.1 KDC.
While the errors show in the krb5 child logs indicate that the
password
is
incorrect, the same user / password is happily accepted by all
the other
hosts.
It seems that in the process of moving / migrating the EL 7.1 /
ipa-client
4.1 from the old KDC to the new KDC, "something" is left behind
that
causes
problems. We have seen indications in the install logs that the
kinit
steps
called during ipa-client install are getting responses from the
wrong
(old)
KDC, and not from the new KDC.
Frustratingly. over the weekend i managed to get one of the
problem EL
7.1
boxes to work. However I can't work out exactly what I was that
I did
that
did the trick. However it seems that some kind of major
de-install /
cleanup + reinstall of the ipa-client may be needed.
Rob has suggested that as part of such a cleanup I should do
"rm
-f /var/lib/sssd/db/*". I will test this later today and report
back.
Thanks to Rob, Jakub, Martin, Alexander et al for their help
and
suggestions so far.
Chris
Thanks for the background. The pain you are getting is exactly
the reason
why
migration via replication to RHEL-7.1 is a better choice :-)
Please let
us
know
the result, I am curious how this works out.

Hi
Earlier today I setup 2 throwaway EL7.1 VMs to help narrow
down the
cause
of this problem. Let's call them HOST09 and HOST10
Both are mimimum installs of EL7.1, with NTPD installed and
configured.
HOST09 had ipa-client 4.1 installed via yum, and was
configured to use
our
new FreeIPA 4.1 server, right from the start. --> My FreeIPA
user
authenticates successfully against this machine.
HOST10 had ipa-client 4.1 installed as a dependency of one of
our
standard
config packages, and was first set to use our old FreeIPA
3.3.3 server.
-->
My FreeIPA user authenticates successfully. against this
machine.
I then de-registered HOST10 from the FreeIPA 3.1 server, and
registered
against the new FreeIPA 4.1 server --> My FreeIPA users does
NOT
authenticate successfully.
This replicates well the behaviour I saw with my production
servers,
namely
a) EL 7.1 hosts with ipa-client 4.1 registered directly
against the new
4.1
FreeIPA server authenticate properly.
b) EL 7.1 hosts with ipa-client 4.1 first registered against
the old
3.3.3
FreeIPA server, then reregistered with the new 4.1 FreeIPA
server do
NOT
authenticate properly

Hello,
This is really strange. What I do not fully understand is what
is the
"registration against a FreeIPA server". What server you
install IPA
client
should matter if the deployment is set up properly. The host
enrollment
entry
should simply replicate to whole infrastructure. The only thing
that
will
probably differ is sssd.conf and krb5.conf as they will have
different
primary
server set up, based on what your DNS setup is.
It rather seems that the "reregistration" is what causes the
issue. It
looks
like something cleanup problem during the process. I will let
Jakub to
help
here, I would suggest including the SSSD logs from the failed
login, it
may
help.

Hi Jakub
Yes root login works, that's how I've been getting into the
box.
Surprisingly, kinit with my user seems to work on that box.
After
entering
my password when prompted, it returns to the commandline
without error.
However if I try kinit with another FreeIPA user, then
instead of
prompting
for a password, it gives "Generic preauthentication failure
while
getting
initial credentials" error.
Having set debug_level=10, when I try and ssh in with my
FreeIPA user,
I
find errors like
"Retrieving host .... with result: .. Matching credential not
found"
"Received error from KDC ... Additional pre-authentication
required"
"Received error from KDC... Decrypt integrity check failed"
"Received error code 1432158219"

Hi Jakub
The same user / password works with all our FreeIPA hosts -
just this
one
box is the problem. So the password should be good. Of
course a type
is
always possible (especially for strong passwords), but I
have tried
many
times which should eliminate the odd password typo. The
user /
password
should also be good for both the old and the new FreeIPA
Server.
Interesting, can you add debug_level=10 to the domain section
of
sssd.conf? Then krb5_child.log should show Kerberos tracing
info
including which exact KDC SSSD was talking to.
As I can neither log in direct, or via ssh to this box with
my FreeIPA
user, I assume Kinit with my user won't work- i will try
later in the
day.
Well, login as a UNIX user (root) should work..
My working assumption is that the problem is related in
some way to
the
fact the host originally was a FreeIPA 3.3.3 client,
updated to
FreeIPA
4.1, and switched between 2 FreeIPA servers. I am currently
setting up
2
throwaway EL 7.1 VMs to better test this. On one I will
first install
3.3.3, then upgrade to 4.1. The second will have a direct
install of
4.1
client.

Hi All
Bad news.
Over the weekend I was able to get the original problem
EL7.1 /
FreeIPA
4.1
host (FreeIPA client) to authenticate FreeiPA users (my
test being
ssh
remote login with FreeIPA user and password).
Today I tried a second machine, and had the same problem,
ssh
connections
with FreeIPA user cause "[sssd[krb5_child[3445]]]:
Decrypt integrity
check

This really just means wrong password, can you kinit as
that user
using
the same password?
Ahh I thought, I have a solution for that: just remove
ipa-client and
reinstall via yum, register with the new FreeIPA
server ....
Only with this second machine I still can't ssh in with a
FreeIPA
user.
Argg.....
b.t.w, as this machine is a real physical server, I was
able to try
logging
in direct with my FreeIPA user --> "Authentication
Failure"
I now have
* a whole bunch of EL6.5 / FreeIPA 3.3.3 hosts that
migrated from the
old
FreeIPA server to the new without a hitch (i.e. they
successfully
authenticate FreeIPA users.)
* one migrated EL7.1 / FreeIPA 4.1 host that I was able to
migrate,
but
with problems
* one migrated EL7.1 / FreeIPA 4.1 host that so far defies
all
attempts
to
authenticate with a FreeIPA user
* one EL7.1 / FreeIPA 4.1 host that was only ever
registered with the
new
FreeIPA server, and successfully authenticates FreeIPA
users.
Any ideas?

Hi All
It gives me pleasure to report the problem is solved - a
minute ago I
was
able to login via ssh with my FreeIPA user to the problem
server,
while
sitting on my terrace with a glass of wine!
Thanks to Alexander for his helpful advice - we had some
mail
exchange
outside the user list as I did not wish to broadcast
content of keys,
config files etc.
Regardless of what I did with commands like klist, kvno
everything
seemed
"ok", but I still could not ssh in. Even a ipa-getkeytab
did not
help.
Therefore I decided to opt for brute force and (partial)
ignorance. I
completely uninstalled the FreeIPA client, and then
reinstalled,
configured
- ét voilà I could ssh in!
This leaves the enigma: what caused the problem? I suspect
the
following:
The host is an EL 7.1, but the first FreeIPA client
installed was
version
3.3.3 (installed as set of standard packages that we bung
on all our
servers).
This worked fine to authenticate against our "old" 3.x
FreeIPA
server,
but
did not work against the "new" 4.1 FreeIPA Server.
When I realised I could not ssh in, one of the first
things I did was
to
yum update the FreeIPA client from 3.3.3 to 4.1 - but that
did not
help.
The solution was to yum remove the FreeIPA client, then
yum install
the
4.1
client.
I have some more EL 7.1 servers with the FreeIPA 3.3.3
client
installed,
so
it will be interesting to see it the problem can be
reproduced.
Keep up the good work,
Chris

Hi All
Some weeks ago I setup a new FreeIPA 4.1.0 on an OEL 7.1
server to
replace
the existing FreeIPA 3.0.0 running on OEL 6.5, and
successfully
migrated
across the users.
We have 50 odd Servers that are FreeIPA clients. Today I
started
migrating
these one-by-one from the old FreeIPA 3.x server to the
new FreeIPA
4
server by doing an ipa-client-install --uninstall from
the old, and
ipa-client-install to register with the new 4.1.0
server.
Most of the FreeIPA clients are running OEL 6.5, and for
these the
migration process above worked perfectly. After
migrating the
server,
I
could ssh in with my FreeIPA user.
Then I migrated an OEL 7.1 server. The migration itself
seemed to
work,
and
getent passwd was successful for my FreeIPA user.
However when I try
and
ssh in, my FreeIPA user / password is not accepted.
Before the migration I could ssh into the problem server
(though
evidently
it was using my FreeIPA user from the old FreeIPA
server).
I can ssh in with a local (non ldap) user, so ssh is
running and
working.
>From user root I can successfully su to my FreeIPA
user.
Further investigation showed that version of ipa-client
installed
was
3.3.3, so I yum updated this to 4.1.0.
However I still cannot ssh into the OEL 7.1 box with my
FreeIPA
user.
The
same user continues to work for the 6.5 boxes.
A colleague tried to ssh in with his FreeIPA user, and
was also
rejected,
so the problem is not my user, but is probably for all
FreeIPA
users.
A failed ssh login attempt causes the following error
in /var/log/messages
[sssd[krb5_child[5393]]]: Decrypt integrity check failed
It means /etc/krb5.keytab contains keys from older system
and SSSD
picks them up.
Can you show output of 'klist -kKet'?
