Hi

Environment: RHEL 7.5, ipa-server-4.5.4-10.el7.x86_64

Part of our IPA backup strategy is to take ascii dumps of various tables
every night using commands like 'ipa user-find --all --preserved=false' with output redirected to a file.

We run a cron job which first gets a keytab for an ipa user and then runs several ipa commands to dump the tables.

Every so often we are seeing (apparently at random) failures of one of the ipa commands early on in the script (usually the first or the second one). The rest of the commands then succeed.

I'm appending some debug output from the script at the end of this message.

In the httpd access_log on the server at the relevant time there is:

[Wed Jun 13 21:30:04.437056 2018] [:error] [pid 29635] ipa: INFO: 401 Unauthorized: Insufficient access: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: The referenced context has expired (Success)

This used to work reliably until the update to RHEL7.4.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on what might be causing this or where to look for further diagnostics.

Thanks.
