Doc Text:
Show, find, and export operations in the "sss_override" utility now work correctly Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 introduced local overrides to the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD). Due to a regression, "sss_override" commands failed if an override was created without the "-n" option. The bug has been fixed and now "sss_override" works correctly.

Description of problem:
sss_override user-export fails



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-tools-1.14.0-30.el7.x86_64



How reproducible:
Always.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an LDAP provider
2. Create an user override:
3. Restart sssd
4. Try to export the user overrides



Actual results:
# sss_override user-export /var/lib/sss/backup/sssd_user_overrides.bak

# echo $?
1

# ls -la /var/lib/sss/backup/sssd_user_overrides.bak
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0  6. Sep 09:04 /var/lib/sss/backup/sssd_user_overrides.bak



Expected results:
sss_override should not fail to export.




Additional information:
It would be great, if sss_override user-export tells the user when it fails. I only discovered this bug, because I wanted to remove the SSSD cache. Otherwise I had not seen that it generates just an empty file and fails. The "sssctrl cache-remove" command validates the result of the backup:
# sssctl cache-remove 
SSSD must not be running. Stop SSSD now? (yes/no) [yes] 
Creating backup of local data...
SSSD backup of local data already exist, override? (yes/no) [no] yes
Error while executing external command
Unable to export group overrides
Unable to create backup of local data, can not remove the cache.

Comment 1 Pavel Březina 2016-09-06 09:06:22 UTC
It seems to be related to timestamp cache or fully qualified name changes.

Comment 4 Michal Zidek 2016-09-07 16:19:39 UTC
The override fails to export if the name attribute is not overriden. For example if someone only overrides shell for the user or GID for the group.

I do not think this is a regression.

Comment 9 Pavel Březina 2016-09-09 09:54:22 UTC
Works in 1.13, this is a regression.

For some reason, the previous clone didn't update the devel Whiteboard, so our internal tool didn't see the BZ as cloned..
