Changing SSSD cert

Changing SSSD cert

After re-provisioning my Samba 4 domain, I found SSSD giving m a strange error: :

ldap_install_tls failed: [Connect error]
 [TLS error -8054:You are attempting to import a cert with the same issuer/serial as an existing cert, but that is not the same cert.]

It seems SSSD caches the ca cert of your ldap service (even if you change the SSSD domain name). I couldn't find where to flush this, but changing some of the tls options will fix it.

In SSSD.conf:

ldap_id_use_start_tls = True
ldap_tls_cacertdir = /usr/local/samba/private/tls
ldap_tls_reqcert = demand

Now to make the cacertdir work you need to run

cacertdir_rehash /usr/local/samba/private/tls

Your SSSD should now be working again.
