Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

Doc Text:	AD users cannot use sudo on IdM hosts if "default_domain_suffix" is set In a trust between Identity Management (IdM) and Active Directory (AD), AD users cannot run sudo commands on IdM hosts if the "default_domain_suffix" parameter in the `/etc/sssd/sssd.conf` file is set to the AD domain. To work around the problem, remove the "default_domain_suffix" parameter from the `/etc/sssd/sssd.conf` file. As a result, sudo policies work as expected both for AD and IdM users. Note that after you remove the "default_domain_suffix" parameter, AD users must use `user_name@domain_name` instead of the short version of their user name to log in.	Story Points:	---

Description Andrea Perotti 2018-02-28 18:23:32 UTC

Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/windows_integration_guide/trust-during#trust-issues
Section Number and Name: 
5.2.3.1. Potential Behavior Issues with Active Directory Trust

Describe the issue: 
Among the various issues/limitation when a trust is established with AD, there's no wording about the fact that sudo for ad users will not work on rhel6, if default_domain_suffix is set.

the issue is tracked down in this solution, but since has been decided that a fix will not be implemented, is important to state it clearly in the official documentation:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2154701

Suggestions for improvement: 
Include the content of the article into a sub-chapter in this section

Additional information: 
A later discovery of that limitation can cause a lot of problems on customers, who will not be able to have a consistent experience in heterogeneous envs with rhel6/7 .

Comment 3 Aneta Šteflová Petrová 2018-03-01 06:55:14 UTC

Thanks for the report, Andrea.

From your comment and the solution you linked to, it seems this should be filed against the RHEL 6 book, so I'm changing the product version and the component.
