Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Andrew Dahms 2017-05-30 06:11:38 UTC 
Red Hat Satellite 6.3 adds the ability to assign a location or organization to LDAP users so that this assignment is available on initial login. The Server Administration Guide must be updated to include the relevant steps.
Comment 1 Andrew Dahms 2017-07-13 05:47:57 UTC 
From the release notes for Foreman 1.14 -

Organization/location assignment for LDAP users

Users created from an LDAP authentication source can now be assigned organizations and locations on their first login. First assign the organizations/locations to the LDAP authentication source via Administer > LDAP authentication and then on their subsequent first login, the user will be created and assigned the same orgs/locations. This ensures they have access to resources by default.

Assigning to Misha for review.
Comment 4 Daniel Lobato Garcia 2017-07-14 12:03:56 UTC 
https://github.com/theforeman/theforeman.org/commit/4d7cc29c00b90c9ed8ce3cf9cf4389bd19a5554a contains the changes to the manual upstream

In the UI, this is noticeable as creating a new Auth Source LDAP (under Administer > Auth Source LDAP), will show two tabs "Locations" and "organizations". 

These tabs contain the locations/organizations to be applied to newly created users that login using that LDAP connection. 

It primarily fixes the problem that in 6.2, people could login and have an account automatically created by LDAP, the account would have the proper roles, but an administrator had to add this new user to organizations/locations manually. Now it's automatic

Michaela,

Yes, this feature was cherry-picked to 6.2.
