What were you trying to do that didn't work?

After upgrading to RHEL 8.9, SSSD produces thousands of "Domain not found" messages a minute in the sssd_nss.log & sssd_be.log files. The log level for the messages is 0x0040, so they are produced at the default log level, the log level has to be set to 'debug_level = 1' or lower to avoid the excessive log messages.

The host has a direct AD integration in a multi-domain forest. All of the domains that are not found in the logs are excluded from the 'ad_enabled_domains' setting in sssd.conf

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

Steps to reproduce

Expected results

Actual results

Many "Domain not found" messages are logged to sssd_nss & sssd_be.

Example of the number of messages logged in the timespan 15:50:47 - 18:43:37:

$ grep "Domain not found" var/log/sssd/sssd_nss.log | wc -l
174153

$ grep "Domain not found" var/log/sssd/sssd_$domain.log | wc -l
123653

Example of sssd-nss message:

(2024-04-03 18:43:37): [nss] [cache_req_common_process_dp_reply] (0x3f7c0): CID#4883 CR #999350: Could not get account info [1432158245]: Domain not found

Example of sssd_be message:

(2024-04-03 18:43:37): [be[ad.domain.net]] [sbus_issue_request_done] (0x0040): sssd.dataprovider.getAccountInfo: Error [1432158245]: Domain not found
