Good day everyone, I am currently testing integrating kerberos into our MMR openldap cluster and things have gone well so far. I can ssh to my test clients using my kerberos credentials then ssh using GSSAPI to other hosts as defined in my principals using my ticket, achieving SSO. *I wanted to see if I could make the cache file user-specific, instead of the default location (/tmp/krb5cc-blabla).* I configured sssd.conf with: krb5_ccachedir = %h krb5_ccname_template = FILE:%d/.krb5cc_%U I configured krb5.conf with: [libdefaults] default_ccache_name = FILE:/home/%{username}/.krb5cc_%{uid} My sshd_config has the following: KerberosAuthentication yes KerberosOrLocalPasswd no KerberosTicketCleanup yes GSSAPIAuthentication yes GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck yes UseDNS yes *What I noticed:* When I ssh to the host I can see that klist shows my cache file under /tmp: Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_2000_tgiettMBSK Default principal: jdoe@xxxxxxxxxx Valid starting Expires Service principal 06/06/2024 09:06:40 06/07/2024 09:06:40 krbtgt/DOMAIN.NET@xxxxxxxxxx renew until 06/06/2024 09:06:40 If I instead `su` to the user then `echo pass | kinit` my cache file is respected: [root@krbhost3 ~]# su - jdoe [jdoe@krbhost3 ~]$ klist klist: No credentials cache found (filename: /home/jdoe/.krb5cc_jdoe) [jdoe@krbhost3 ~]$ echo password | kinit Password for jdoe@xxxxxxxxxx: [jdoe@krbhost3 ~]$ klist Ticket cache: FILE:/home/jdoe/.krb5cc_jdoe Default principal: jdoe@xxxxxxxxxx Valid starting Expires Service principal 06/06/2024 09:08:03 06/07/2024 09:08:03 krbtgt/NWK.JWM2.NET@xxxxxxxxxx renew until 06/06/2024 09:08:03 So it seems that sssd does as configured and places the cache file in the correct location but when I ssh into the host, it goes to the default location. I also tried setting the KRB5CCNAME environment variable in /etc/sysconfig/sshd file but sshd still prefers the defaults. I am using pam_sss and not pam_krb5. (authselect select sssd with-mkhomedir --force) *My environment: (3 hosts total)* rockylinux9: (x2) OpenSSH_8.7p1, OpenSSL 3.0.7 1 Nov 2022 krb5-server-1.21.1-1 sssd-2.9.4-6 symas-openldap-servers-2.6.7-2 rockylinux8: (1x) OpenSSH_8.0p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1k FIPS 25 Mar 2021 krb5-server-1.18.2-27 sssd-2.9.4-3 Not sure if this is a redhat issue (since openssh is older on my systems) or a misconfiguration on my part. Any input is very much appreciated.
