Description John W. O'Brien 2018-07-21 22:26:54 UTC
Synopsis
========

When security/krb5 (-115, in my case) is built with the LDAP option, and then configured to use a local LDAP server, the krb5kdc daemon fails to start on boot with "cannot initialize realm EXAMPLE.COM - see log file for details" because slapd is not yet running.

Expected behavior
=================

On boot, slapd and kdc both start successfully in that order.

Observed behavior
=================

On boot, kdc tries to start first and fails, and later slapd starts successfully. After boot, an attempt to start kdc succeeds.

Reproducible
============

Always.

$ rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* 2>/dev/null | egrep "kdc|slapd"
/etc/rc.d/kdc
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd
Comment 1 John W. O'Brien 2018-07-21 22:30:53 UTC
Adding net/openldap24-server maintainer to CC for situational awareness.
Comment 2 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-07-21 22:44:20 UTC
Put kdc in the BEFORE line of /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd.

openldap24-server fix

This patch ensures that slapd is started before kdc.
Comment 4 John W. O'Brien 2018-08-05 17:18:06 UTC
Two weeks has elapsed since attachment 195349 [details] was proposed. However, the patch was not marked as needing maintainer approval, so I'm not sure what the protocol here is for maintainer timeout. In any case, I'm going try to set the flag and let cy@ and delphij@ work it out.
Comment 5 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-06 05:17:08 UTC
I'll create a phab revision.
Comment 6 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-06 05:18:30 UTC
BTW, did you test the patch?
Comment 7 Cy Schubert freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-08-06 06:31:26 UTC
See https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16602.
Comment 8 John W. O'Brien 2018-08-06 11:48:04 UTC
(In reply to Cy Schubert from comment #6)

I did. It works.

  Ensure that slapd starts before kdc, as the kdc may be configured to
  require LDAP services. If it is configured to require LDAP and the
  slapd server is not yet started, the kdc will fail to start.
