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 michael.bruenker 2021-03-21 12:30:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Since the upgrade of the ubi8/openjdk-11 Image to version 1.3-10 it is no longe possible to create new users (via useradd/adduser) and use them correctly in the Image. After analyzing the issue we found out that this is caused by a new intoduced setting in this image of ENV-Variable "NSS_WRAPPER_PASSWD" pointing to 
"/home/jboss/passwd". This leads to a situation where "useradd" adds the user correctly to /etc/passwd but all the other commands (like "chown" or "id") search for the user in /home/jboss/passwd leading to a "no such user" error message. This breaks compability with a lot containers depending on correctly added users.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.3-10


How reproducible: Use latest ubi8/openjdk-11 as base image and try to add a user an make use of it via chown.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create Image "FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/openjdk-11"
2.Switch to "USER root"
3."adduser test"
4."id test"

Actual results: "No such user"


Expected results: "User should be found and ID should be correctly mapped"

Container issues are tracked at issues.redhat.com. I'm migrating this BZ to <https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OPENJDK-335>
The BZ will be closed "NOTABUG" which might seem strange but it's to reflect the status for the java-11-openjdk component (this is not a bug in the OpenJDK RPMs).
