Description of problem:
If ipv6 is unavailable for your network, and the system has NETWORKING_IPV6=no
marked in /etc/sysconfig/networking, SSSD still tries to use ipv6
automatically. SSSD should be intelligent enough to not try to use ipv6 if it's
marked disabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-34.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
intermittent

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up SSSD
2. disable ipv6 via adding NETWORKING_IPV6=no to /etc/sysconfig/network
3. try to authenticate

Actual results:
timeouts occur because ipv6 is not enabled on the network

Expected results:
ipv6 dns requests should not occur

Additional info:
You can currently disable ipv6 for a service if you manually enter
lookup_family_order=ipv4_only.

This is not required earlier than next year this setting 1.7 right away.

Thank you for taking time to submit this request for SSSD. Unfortunately this issue was not given priority and the team lacks the capacity to work on it at this time.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request I am closing the issue as wontfix.

If the issue still persist on recent SSSD you can request re-consideration of this decision by reopening this issue. Please provide additional technical details about its importance to you.

Thank you for understanding.
