 sssd[be[sssdad2012.com]]:Could not open file [/var/log/sssd/gpo_child.log]. Error: [13][Permission denied]
su: System error

The subprocess gpo_child does not require extra privileges and therefore is executed in non-root mode. However the owner of this file is not changed
after switching from non-root -> root.

There should be also changed ownership of directories/files in gpo_cache/.

Since the 1.14 branch is transitioning into maintenance mode and new functionality is being developed in master which will become 1.15 eventually, I'm mass-moving tickets from the 1.14 backlog milestone to the "Future releases" milestone.

milestone: SSSD 1.14 backlog => SSSD Future releases (no date set yet)

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.

Currently this is handled by packaging (RHEL).
Fedora spec-files doesn't take care of this.
