Issue

ipa-ccache-sweeper.timer doesn't trigger service to cleanup /run/ipa/ccaches every 12 hours by removing entries older than one day. The systemd timer is configured in a way it doesn't trigger unless user manually starts the service or enables the service on startup.

Our CI makes about 15 000 logins via the JSON-RPC during a normal development day which creates a 4-6 kB ccache file on each login and eventually eats around a gigabytes a week.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Login via web UI or JSON-RPC
  2. Observe a new file in path /run/ipa/ccaches (ie. selenium@EXAMPLE.COM-zztvgw)

Actual behavior

ccache file is never deleted

Expected behavior

ccache file is deleted after ~24h
