Hi every body,
We are in the process of converting to SSSD for our Centos 6.9 & 7.3 servers.
We have the latest available "sssd-1.13.3-56.el6.x86_64" & 
"adcli-0.8.1-1.el6.x86_64" installed for our platform.
In a month or so most of our servers were dropped out of domain.
We followed several documents, including "Integrating Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
6 with Active Directory" and "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Beta Windows 
Integration Guide".

I don't recall seeing any references to enable automatic kerberos host keytab 
renewal in those documents.
After the issue we started looking in to it and saw recommendations about 
running cron jobs to renew host keytabs:
"https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/sssd-us...@lists.fedorahosted.org/thread/CRA43XHHDBPAENAYJ3INUWSCE2Q2NB5W/";

Other documentation however indicated this issue has been addressed after 
sssd-1.13.3-8.el6:
"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1290761";

My question is do we still need to configure a cronjob to run "msktutil 
--auto-update" and "kinit -k <servername>$"?

Is default value of "ad_maximum_machine_account_password_age = 30" sufficient 
for auto renewals?
We checked with AD team and they say machine passwords rotate every 30 days.

Thanks
