All,

First the deets of the setup:
3 IDM servers on RHEL 7.7
ipa version VERSION: 4.6.5, API_VERSION: 2.231
sssd version 1.16.4
389 directory server version 1.3.9.1-10

Clients:
EL7: ipa version 5.6.5, sssd version
EL6: ipa version 3.0.0.51, sssd 1.13.3.60

Servers are setup in an AD trust ipa-ad-trust-posix.  I have done the 
performance tweaks for sssd as described at 
https://jhrozek.wordpress.com/2015/08/19/performance-tuning-sssd-for-large-ipa-ad-trust-deployments/
 and we use the accounts/groups in AD for login, authorization, and file 
ownership.

There are 3 main issues we are having.
1. On ipa clients on EL 7 servers we are running into sporadic issues.  If you 
totally clear the sssd cache and do an ls -la on let's say /home where there 
are 12 unique owners of directories usually between 8 to 10 of the UID numbers 
come back with the the user found, but you have to wait 1 to 5 minutes before 
the rest of the uids owning the other directories come back as found.

2. Also on ipa clients on EL 7 servers we are running into an issue where 
occasionally, at what seems like totally random times, AD users that normally 
can access a client suddenly can't.  Someone will have to go in and clear the 
SSSD cache after which the user will once again be able to access the system.

3. There are some users that are just not visible on the EL 6 clients.  On the 
IDM servers and on EL 7 clients the AD users are able to be found by id and the 
users can login.  On EL 6 those AD users just do not resolve and cannot be seen.

Anyway, we have had Red Hat support looking at problem 3 for almost 2 months 
now with no luck.  We have been poking around at problems 1 and 2 but no eureka 
moments as of yet.  I'm hoping someone else on this list has encountered these 
same issues and found a solution.  I would greatly appreciate any insight and 
help that anyone could provide.

Sincerely,
—
