Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2062689

I am copying this bug because: to track fix for RHEL9



Description of problem:
For all user and group related calls in libsss_nss_idmap it is possible the indicate if the given argument should related to a user or a group. The only exception is sss_nss_getorigbyname() which might cause issues since in POSIX the user and group namespaces are separate and it is possible that there is a group with the same name as the user and this group is not a user-private group and should be handled as independent object.

Adding sss_nss_getorigbyusername() and sss_nss_getorigbygroupname() similar to e.g. sss_nss_getsidbyuid() and sss_nss_getsidbygid(), should be the straight forward solution.

There is already https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2062379 so that that IPA extdom plugin can make use of the new calls if available.
