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.
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/2833
Integration test revealed a problem when trying to perform initgroups of overriden name.
If you override a name to say alias1 and then try to run initgroups on alias1 it tries to search alias1 with views in LDAP. This yields an empty result. The same problem is probably when trying to refresh expired users and groups.
We need to ensure that if local overrides are use we will always search for the original name/id in LDAP instead of an over-ridden one.
During a tmate session, Pavel showed me the simplest steps to reproduce:
0) Connect SSSD with LDAP back end
1) remove caches:
# rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/cache_* /var/lib/sss/mc/*
2) service sssd start
3) add override without calling id first:
# sss_override user-add $orig_name -n $alias
4) retrieve overriden name:
# id $alias
With the unpatched packages, the id wouldn't show any supplemental groups (=initgroups will fail). With the patched packages, all supplemental groups will be shown for the overriden name.
Yes this is a problem only the primary groups are present in the AD provider as well.
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start sssd.service
[root@test db]# sss_override user-add -n dlavu123 dlavu
SSSD needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
[root@test db]# service sssd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart sssd.service
[root@test db]# id dlavu123
uid=768001104(dlavu123) gid=768000513(domain users) groups=768000513(domain users)
