Description Giacomo Comes 2024-06-10 03:15:29 UTC 
I use pam-config to enable sssd support in pam
In Leap 15.6 the command:
  pam-config -a --sss
does not work showing the following output error:
  ERROR: module /lib/security/pam_sss.so is not installed.

In Leap 15.5 /lib/security/pam_sss.so was provided by the package:
sssd-common-32bit. In Leap 15.6 the package sssd-common has been merged with the package sssd, but no sssd-32bit package is provided.

In order to make 'pam-config -a --sss' work again, either you should provide the package sssd-32bit or pam-config should not fail if a 32bit module is missing.

The maintainers of pam-config and sssd should decide which fix to implement for Leap 15.6

If you have a 32bit stack and one module is missing, your whole PAM stack cannot work.

That's not a pam-config bug if the correct modules are not installed.
Comment 3 Giacomo Comes 2024-07-01 11:52:00 UTC 
The 32bit module needed by the command 'pam-config -a --sss' does not exist on Leap 15.6. I cannot install it. On Leap 15.6 the command 'pam-config -a --sss' does not work. You can argue that it is than the fault of the package sssd, but because of the problem I found as described in boo#1227216 I'm more inclined the see this as a pam-config problem.
