#2296 pam_sss set KRB5CCNAME with sudo logins
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by simo.

when running sudo -i pam_sss still sets the KRB5CCNAME environment variable of the user that was used for authentication. It should not set the environment variable for sudo cases or should be optionally configurable by the admin.

Otherwise with sudo -i root is given the ccache of the user, a kdestroy will wipe the user's ccache and any operation as root may change the ccache permissions or otherwise race with user processes.

This is not a security issue as the user ccache is the cache of the originating user, so nothing is really leaked, but it may cause issues and should be fixed.

The solution proposed by Sumit is:
- add a new option for the pam responder that would list the services that don't receive the KRB5CCNAME value
- by default the option is empty for this release, affectd users can add sudo/sudo-i there manually
- in future releases we can extend the option by default
