RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. 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 Jan Cholasta 2015-08-04 14:23:01 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5170

In user plugin, the preserved users can be assigned membership, even though they are not supposed to work with membership information. Moreover, when a membership is assigned to a preserved user and then the user is activated, the membership information persists for the active entry.

'''Steps to reproduce:'''

'''1. create a group and a user'''

{{{
$ ipa group-add tgroup
$ ipa user-add tuser --first test --last user
}}}

'''2. delete the user with --preserve option'''

{{{
$ ipa user-del tuser --preserve
}}}


'''3. assign membership to the preserved user'''

{{{
$ ipa group-add-member tgroup --users tuser
}}}

Expected result: should not add the user to the group

Actual result: the user is added to the group:

{{{
  Group name: tgroup
  GID: 280206353
-------------------------
Number of members added 1
-------------------------
}}}

Even though results of group-show and user-show command do not list 'tuser' as a member of 'tgroup', the membership was apparently added:

{{{
$ ipa group-show tgroup
  Group name: tgroup
  GID: 280206353

$ ipa user-show tuser
  User login: tuser
  First name: test
  Last name: user
  Home directory: /home/tuser
  Login shell: /bin/sh
  Email address: tuser.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
  UID: 280206355
  GID: 280206355
  Account disabled: True
  Preserved user: True
  Password: False
  Kerberos keys available: False
}}}

'''4. activate the preserved entry'''

{{{
$ ipa user-undel tuser
}}}

Expected result: user is now active and has only 'ipausers' membership

Actual result: user is active and has 'ipausers' and ''''tgroup'''' membership:
{{{
$ ipa user-show tuser
  User login: tuser
  First name: test
  Last name: user
  Home directory: /home/tuser
  Login shell: /bin/sh
  Email address: tuser.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
  UID: 280206355
  GID: 280206355
  Account disabled: False
  Password: False
  Member of groups: tgroup, ipausers
  Kerberos keys available: False

$ ipa group-show tgroup
  Group name: tgroup
  GID: 280206353
  Member users: tuser
}}}

'''Note:''' The membership added to the preserved entry can also be removed using 'group-remove-member'
