10.4. Increasing SSSD timeouts
If you are having issues authenticating with a smart card, check the krb5_child.log and the p11_child.log file for timeout entries similar to the following:
krb5_child: Timeout for child [9607] reached.....consider increasing value of krb5_auth_timeout.
If there is a timeout entry in the log file, try increasing the SSSD timeouts as outlined in this procedure.
Prerequisites
- You have configured your IdM Server and client for smart card authentication.
Procedure
Open the
sssd.conffile on the IdM client:# vim /etc/sssd/sssd.confIn your domain section, for example
[domain/idm.example.com], add the following option:krb5_auth_timeout = 60In the
[pam]section, add the following:p11_child_timeout = 60Clear the SSSD cache:
# sssctl cache-remove SSSD must not be running. Stop SSSD now? (yes/no) [yes] yes Creating backup of local data… Removing cache files… SSSD needs to be running. Start SSSD now? (yes/no) [yes] yesOnce you have increased the timeouts, try authenticating again using your smart card. See Testing smart card authentication for more details.
