Description Roshni 2016-12-07 17:25:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
Creating private groups for smartcard users when the home directory is created

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-6.1.12-23.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using authconfig UI, enable smartcard login and check "Create home directory at first login" option
2.
3.

Actual results:
User is created during smartcard login but private directory is not created if the ldap user on the smartcard has a group id that does not exist on the client

Expected results:
User and private group should be created at the first login

Additional info:
Comment 2 Roshni 2016-12-21 18:33:05 UTC 
The group is created for the user with the group id from the entry but no group name is assigned to the group. This is message I see when I login with the smartcard "/usr/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 1002
Comment 3 Pavel Březina 2017-01-12 12:58:33 UTC 
Does the group entry exist in LDAP?
Comment 8 Roshni 2017-01-23 12:58:00 UTC 
I have specified the following:

uid: kdcuser6
uidnumber: 1002
gidnumber: 1002

I was expecting a user would be created with uid and uidnumber values and a private group would be created for the user with the gidnumber and the group name would be the same as uid (kdcuser6). Or am I missing any other parameters?
Comment 9 Tomas Mraz 2017-01-23 13:48:23 UTC 
Create home directory functionality just creates the home directory on local filesystem. It won't create user and group accounts.

I'm closing this as not a bug. Feel free to reopen this bugzilla if you have further issues.
