Hi, Jakub, In line with your performance tuning document referenced prior in this thread, I’ve actually already implemented the three configuration changes you specified (prior to identifying this issue). Right now I am focusing on the use case documented below, because as of right now I am unable to get that user populated into a client cache with sssd 1.14, at all. In other cases for individual users (prior to implementing tmpfs for example), it seemed like an initial lookup on a client failed, then subsequent lookups would succeed, presumably as a result of the DC eventually looking up and caching the user. This user (the one I can’t seem to lookup on a client) is a member of a large number of groups, and also some of these groups have longer names with spaces and special characters in them (i.e. $ and . @) I haven’t gone through and checked if one of these groups has a large number of users, primarily because I am able to lookup users that are members of groups with a large number of members (over 1000) already. This is an actual group that this user is a member of, for example:
788658174(members of this group will have full mailbox access and send as rights to urbj...@health.bsd.uchicago.edu<mailto:urbj...@health.bsd.uchicago.edu> mailbox) Right now my theory is that the @ in this group name is causing the lookup to fail, as it is used as a character to specify the actual domain of a trusted group, although that has yet to be verified.

urbj...@health.bsd.uchicago.edu<mailto:urbj...@health.bsd.uchicago.edu> mailbox) I am not particularly well versed in deciphering IPA/NSS logs for SSSD, but at first review nothing is blaring, aside from these line in the NSS log, which doesn’t provide much good information: Error: 3, 0, Account info lookup failed Will try to return what we have in cache My goal is to spend at least some time focusing on this today to try and further identify root cause of being unable to lookup this user. I will report back if I find anything meaningful. In the meantime I would appreciate any advisement that could be provided. Thank you for replying to me.

Before I forget I will say that I am still on sssd 1.13 on the domain controller; I didn’t upgrade it because I haven’t had any problems logging into that system yet. That being said: Thank you, but did this command return "No such user” ? Yes. Whenever this occurs "No such user" is the result from the id command executed on the client. If it did, was the user cached previously (iow, was there a successfull lookup before) ? No, this is the first time the user has ever been looked up. As far as I know the user has never been successfully entered into the cache. Similarly, the user has never logged in to the IPA server via an SSSD client. Ah, thank you, if the user has not been cached before, then it's expected that the lookup has nothing to fall back to if the client fails to look up information from the server. Here is an example of a failed lookup from a client: [root@cri-kcriwebgdp1 problem]# id hahsan id: hahsan: No such user The DC logs for this operation are NSS - https://gist.github.com/dsulli99/01715234efab09772e8236a13e4f4ef5 IPA - https://gist.github.com/dsulli99/f3cc92d7c32061fd4676a83a039c31b1 Thank you, I see that there is quite a lot of groups and the lookup takes a bit of time. I wonder if any of the groups the user is a member of are large? If yes (and since moving the cache to tmpfs had helped), I wonder if also using ignore_group_members would mitigate the issue further, like this: subdomain_inherit = ignore_group_members, ldap_purge_cache_timeout ignore_group_members = True ldap_purge_cache_timeout = 0 These would go into the domain section on the server itself. ******************************************************************************** This e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
