[LU-6237] EL7 libgssglue or libgssapi are not found

• Status: Resolved
• Project: Lustre
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.7.0
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.8.0
• Type: Bug
• Priority: Minor
• Reporter: Thomas Favre-Bulle (Inactive)
• Assignee: Peter Jones
• Resolution: Duplicate

Environment

RHEL7

• Severity: 2

Description

Based on current 2.6.93, building Lustre client on RHEL7 produces a warning related to GSS at configure time.

checking for krb5_derive_key in -lgssapi_krb5... no
checking for gss_export_lucid_sec_context in -lgssapi... no
checking for gss_export_lucid_sec_context in -lgssglue... no
configure: WARNING:

libgssapi or libgssglue is not found, which is required by GSS.

Neither libgssglue or libgssapi exist anymore in EL7, both were replaced by krb5-libs as far as I know.

I tried to fix this but API function names are obviously different, not to mention that I'm not really well versed with that particular API.

Hi Thomas

Thanks for opening this ticket as we discussed. I have dropped the severity because this is an issue relating to unreleased software and S1 is reserved for supported productions sites that are out of service.

Have you looked into EL7 support yet?

Hi Jeremy, this relates to the work that you are doing for the shared-key crypto. Since we are adding RHEL7 as a supported platform this needs to be working for shared key to be usable in Lustre 2.8.

Peter,
Sorry about the severity rating, I thought "1" was actually the lowest priority.

Just so everyone is clear, I am simply "babysitting" this ticket until it finds an owner. No work is taking place on this atm.

Hi Peter,

Maybe this ticket can be marked as duplicate of LU-6490 where I posted a patch that, among other things, removes the dependency over libgssglue and libgssapi.

Sebastien.

Thanks Sebastien
