Fixed In Version: sssd-1.9.1-1.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The proxy domain type of SSSD allowed only looking up a user by its "primary name" in LDAP Consequence: If the SSSD was configured with a "proxy domain" and the LDAP entry contained more name attributes, only the primary one could be used for lookups Fix: The proxy provider was enhanced to handle also aliases in addition to primary user names. Result: The administrator can look up a user by any of his names when using the proxy provider.

Description Kaushik Banerjee 2012-03-13 10:45:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
Unable to lookup user aliases with proxy provider.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.8.0-15

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a user in ldap server as:
dn: uid=User_CS1,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
uidNumber: 1111111
gidNumber: 1111111
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: account
cn: User_CS1
homeDirectory: /home/user_cs1
userPassword: Secret123
uid: User_CS1_Alias

2. Configure proxy provider domain in sssd as follows:

[domain/PROXY]
debug_level=0xFFF0
id_provider = proxy
case_sensitive = true
proxy_lib_name = ldap
proxy_pam_target = sssdproxyldap

3. Lookup user & alias via nss_ldap:

# getent -s ldap passwd User_CS1_Alias
User_CS1_Alias:Secret123:1111111:1111111:User_CS1:/home/user_cs1:
# getent -s ldap passwd User_CS1
User_CS1:Secret123:1111111:1111111:User_CS1:/home/user_cs1:

4. Lookup user & alias via nss_sss:

# getent -s sss passwd User_CS1_Alias
User_CS1_Alias:*:1111111:1111111:User_CS1:/home/user_cs1:
# getent -s sss passwd User_CS1    <== Doesn't return anything.
  
Actual results:
Unable to lookup user aliases.

sssd_PROXY.log shows:

(Tue Mar 13 14:04:01 2012) [sssd[be[PROXY]]] [acctinfo_callback] (0x0100): Request processed. Returned 3,17,Internal Error (Failure setting user credentials)

Expected results:
Should be able to lookup user aliases.
