What exactly are you seeing to determine that the server is actually failing? Is it not possible that sssd (the client) is timing out? Will 389ds service an LDAP request, i.e. can you run
ldapsearch -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w <pw> -s base -b "cn=config" "(objectclass=*)” What exactly are you trying to do? Just password authentication to an sssd client? Are you operating in a trusted AD environment?

Users report not being able to login to servers that are using a specific ipa_server. Looking at this server ipactl shows everything as RUNNING. ipactl restart fixes the issue until the next time. My questions are: 1. What could be causing this, and what can I check. 2. What logging should I enable on the server. 3. We are currently monitoring for processes 'Running' but clearly that is not fool-proof way to check if the service is actually up. What would be a definitive method to check if Freeipa is up and functional in all respects. I was thinking of setting up cron job that attempts to do kinit <fakeUserid> on a client machine. The problems that I foresee with this method is caching that might give false negatives. thanks -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org <http://freeipa.org/> for more info on the project -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
