A.2. Troubleshooting sudo with SSSD and sudo Debugging Logs


A.2.1. SSSD and sudo Debug Logging

The debug logging feature enables you to log additional information about SSSD and sudo.

The sudo Debug Log File

To enable sudo debugging:
  1. Add the following lines to /etc/sudo.conf:
    Debug sudo /var/log/sudo_debug.log all@debug
    Debug sudoers.so /var/log/sudo_debug.log all@debug
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Run the sudo command as the user you want to debug.
The /var/log/sudo_debug.log file is created automatically and provides detailed information to answer questions like:
  • What information is available about the user and the environment when running the sudo command?
    sudo[22259] settings: debug_flags=all@debug
    sudo[22259] settings: run_shell=true
    sudo[22259] settings: progname=sudo
    sudo[22259] settings: network_addrs=192.0.2.1/255.255.255.0 fe80::250:56ff:feb9:7d6/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • Does a rule match or not?

The SSSD Debug Log Files

To enable SSSD debugging:
  1. Add the debug_level option to the [sudo] and [domain/domain_name] sections of your /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file:
    [domain/domain_name]
    debug_level = 0x3ff0
    ...
    [sudo]
    debug_level = 0x3ff0
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Restart SSSD:
    # systemctl restart sssd
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Run the sudo command to write the debug information to the log files.
The following log files are created:
The domain log file: /var/log/sssd/sssd_domain_name.log
This log file helps you to answer questions like:
  • How many rules did SSSD return?
    [sdap_sudo_refresh_load_done] (0x0400): Received 4-rules rules
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • What sudo rules did SSSD download from the server?
    [sssd[be[LDAP.PB]]] [sysdb_save_sudorule] (0x0400): Adding sudo rule demo-name
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • Are the matching rules stored in the cache?
    [sdap_sudo_refresh_load_done] (0x0400): Sudoers is successfully stored in cache
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • What filter was used to download the rules from the server?
    [sdap_get_generic_ext_step] (0x0400): calling ldap_search_ext with [(&(objectClass=sudoRole)(|(!(sudoHost=*))(sudoHost=ALL)(sudoHost=client.example.com)(sudoHost=client)(sudoHost=192.0.2.1)(sudoHost=192.0.2.0/24)(sudoHost=2620:52:0:224e:21a:4aff:fe23:1394)(sudoHost=2620:52:0:224e::/64)(sudoHost=fe80::21a:4aff:fe23:1394)(sudoHost=fe80::/64)(sudoHost=+*)(|(sudoHost=*\\*)(sudoHost=*?*)(sudoHost=*\2A*)(sudoHost=*[*]*))))][dc=example,dc=com]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Use this filter to look up the rules in the IdM database:
    # ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -H ldap://server.example.com -b dc=example,dc=com '(&(objectClass=sudoRole)...)'
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
The sudo responder log file: /var/log/sssd/sssd_sudo.log
This log file helps you to answer questions like:
  • How many rules did SSSD return?
    [sssd[sudo]] [sudosrv_get_sudorules_from_cache] (0x0400): Returning 4-rules rules for [user@idm.example.com]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • What filter was applied for searching the cache of SSSD?
    [sudosrv_get_sudorules_query_cache] (0x0200): Searching sysdb with [(&(objectClass=sudoRule)(|(sudoUser=ALL)(sudoUser=user)(sudoUser=#10001)(sudoUser=%group-1)(sudoUser=%user)(sudoUser=+*)))]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • How do I look up the rules returned from the SSSD cache? Use the following filter to look up the rules:
    # ldbsearch -H /var/lib/sss/db/cache_domain_name.ldb -b cn=sysdb '(&(objectClass=sudoRule)...)'

    Note

    The ldbsearch utility is included in the ldb-tools package.
