Thanks for your report. This might be bug #1214026. Does the LDAP server allow listing group members? (I guess, does (getent group wheel) list myacct?) This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 1000 days |
Created attachment 1305769 [details] Edited vestion of ps -Hef while running `systemctl restart NetworkManager'. Description of problem: When I login with an administrative account (in the wheel group) having only ldap/kerberos credentials (myacct) and attempt to run program that require administrative privileges via polkit helper agent (systemctl restart ..., yumex-dnf), I am prompted for a local user with administrative privilege (luser) password instead of my ldap/kerberos privileges (myacct). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): polkit-0.113-8.fc26.x86_64 polkit-gnome-0.105-11.fc26.x86_64 polkit-kde-5.10.1-1.fc26.x86_64 polkit-libs-0.113-8.fc26.x86_64 polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-8.fc26.x86_64 polkit-qt -0.112.0-9.fc26.x86_64 polkit-qt5-1-0.112.0-9.fc26.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.24.3-1.fc26.x86_64 systemd-233-6.fc26.x86_64 yumex-dnf-4.3.3-4.1.fc26.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login in as and administrative (in wheel group) user with ldap/kerberos credentials into a gnome session. 2. Run a program that uses polkit to acquire privilege. Example: # Who I am, supplied by ldap/kerberos. $ whoami myacct # My groups, supplied by ladp/kerberos. $ groups myacct myacct : users desktop_admin_r wheel ldap develop mock myacct wireshark named # The loacl users groups. $ groups luser luser : users wheel luser # Run a program that uses polkit to gain privelege. $ systemctl restart wpa_supplicant Actual results: Prompted for the local user (luser) password. Expected results: To be prompted for my login user (myacct) password. Additional info: Work around for command line application (systemctl restart ...): run using sudo or provide the local user password. Work around for an graphical application (yumex-dnf): provide the local user password.
