Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Anton Bobrov 2022-06-13 08:16:28 UTC
Description of problem:

The customer has observed messages like the one below popping up in the logs:

Found [1266] overrides with filter [(&(objectClass=ipaOverrideAnchor)(|(uidNumber=27676)(gidNumber=27676)))], expected only 1.

From what I can see the search is done on LDAP base

cn=Default Trust View,cn=views,cn=accounts,dc=whatever,dc=man

The customer however has a bunch of users that belong to the same primary group and thus do have that gidNumber in their cn=Default Trust View overrides

objectClass: ipaOverrideAnchor
objectClass: ipaUserOverride
gidNumber: 27676

Looking at the sssd code there is BE_REQ_USER_AND_GROUP case that constructs that filter and it looks like its trying to get both user and group overrides in one go, instead of say doing 2 separate search ops or 1 search with more complex filter, based on the fact that it is using the superior ipaOverrideAnchor objectclass and not user or group specific one.

@Sumit Bose:

"BE_REQ_USER_AND_GROUP is used when it is not clear if a user or a group
is looked up, e.g. when you looking up a SID.

I agree the LDAP search filter is a bit sloppy and should be more
specific like e.g.

    (|(&(objectClass=ipaUserOverride)(uidNumber=27676))(&(objectClass=ipaGroupOverride)(gidNumber=27676)))"
