#1511 support keytab rotation as part of the SSSD's AD provider
Closed: Duplicate None Opened 11 years ago by jhrozek.

In an Active Directory domain, the keytabs are rotated every 30 days by default. Some tools, especially 3rd party ones, would even disable hosts that haven't rotated their keytabs recently and that is especially true now that the bring-your-own-device is so widely used. See https://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2009/02/15/test2.aspx?Redirected=true for more details.

Ondrej Kos wrote a standalone deamon as part of his bc thesis that is able to rotate the host keytabs. As part of the AD integration effort, we should incorporate that deamon into the SSSD's AD provider.


This is a duplicate of the #1041

Couple notes though based on the discussion we had about Ondrej's project

  1. The code of the project should be integrated into the SSSD code base
  2. Instead of threads it should follow the same tevent style as everything else
  3. It should work against MIT KDC, IPA or AD. To do that it should use kerberos protocol rather than an LDAP extended operation.

Please add if I missed something.

Ah, sorry, you're right. I guess we all missed #1041 on the meeting yesterday. I've copied your comment into #1041 and I'm going to mark this ticket as a duplicate.
