Description Marek Hulan 2017-12-18 15:53:22 UTC
Description of problem:

From the user

> It is technically possible that we are going to manage in the same
> installation groups and netgroups, like in a standard linux machine.
> On Linux machine the connection is done through nsswitch configuration and
> on redhat normally through sssd.
>
> The current configuration of the netgroups require to lookup LDAP groups
> OR netgroups.
> In order to lookup both items, we need to have 2 ldap connections
> configured.
>
> This is a limitation.

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

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to create LDAP authsource
2. it's required to choose between netgroups or posix groups via checkbox
3.

Actual results:

no way to combine both in single auth source

Expected results:

it would be good to have two separate fields for specifying DN, we should combine results so that:

> How would you prefer to combine 
> external usergroups for such user? If let's say user belongs to group a and 
> netgroup b,c should the result be a,b,c?

Comment 2 Bryan Kearney 2019-07-02 18:01:40 UTC
The Satellite Team is attempting to provide an accurate backlog of bugzilla requests which we feel will be resolved in the next few releases. We do not believe this bugzilla will meet that criteria, and have plans to close it out in 1 month. This is not a reflection on the validity of the request, but a reflection of the many priorities for the product. If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support or your account team. If we do not hear from you, we will close this bug out. Thank you.

Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2019-08-01 18:34:54 UTC
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
