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.

Fixed In Version: cups-1.6.3-39.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.CUPS no longer denies access if SSSD running on the same server is configured with `ignore_group_members = true` When System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) uses the `ignore_group_members = true` setting in the `/etc/sssd/sssd.conf` file, the `getgrnam()` function returns the group structure without group members of groups retrieved by SSSD. This is expected behavior. Previously, CUPS used only `getgrnam()` to verify if a user is a member of a group. As a consequence, if SSSD was configured with the mentioned setting on a CUPS server that used groups to allow access to the server for members of a group, CUPS denied access to users in these groups. With this update, CUPS now additionally uses the `getgrouplist()` function, which returns group members even if SSSD is configured with `ignore_group_members = true`. As a result, CUPS correctly determines access based on group memberships in the mentioned scenario.

Description Masahiro Matsuya 2018-04-23 03:57:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

This is related with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1204379 (fedora bug).

A customer's CUPS server uses AD group for web UI access.
But, he could not access with a user in AD group. sssd is configured properly,
and groups command can return the correct groups including AD group.

After some investigation by customer, the following upstream patch was found to fix the problem. getgrouplist() is used to get group information by the patch.

 https://github.com/apple/cups/commit/6eb98aee93be531b09425ea4bce86cfe05e8b4ef

The customer confirmed that the patch fixed the problem with a test package.
Could you backport this patch into RHEL7.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure sssd for AD user and group
2. ignore_group_members = true may be needed in sssd.conf for reproduction.
It's used to speed up authentication. As the result, getent group <group> doesn't return members. But, id command can list all groups including AD group.
It's expected. 
3. configure CUPS to allow to access Web UI for a user in a AD group.

Actual results:
cannot access WEB UI with a user in the AD group which was permitted in CUPS configuration.

Expected results:
can access WEB UI
