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 of problem:
Creating private groups for smartcard users when the home directory is created
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-6.1.12-23.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using authconfig UI, enable smartcard login and check "Create home directory at first login" option
2.
3.
Actual results:
User is created during smartcard login but private directory is not created if the ldap user on the smartcard has a group id that does not exist on the client
Expected results:
User and private group should be created at the first login
Additional info:
The group is created for the user with the group id from the entry but no group name is assigned to the group. This is message I see when I login with the smartcard "/usr/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 1002
I have specified the following:
uid: kdcuser6
uidnumber: 1002
gidnumber: 1002
I was expecting a user would be created with uid and uidnumber values and a private group would be created for the user with the gidnumber and the group name would be the same as uid (kdcuser6). Or am I missing any other parameters?
