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 Florence Blanc-Renaud 2022-06-07 14:00:36 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2068088 +++

Description of problem:
ipa-client-install should provide an option allowing to configure subid managed at IPA level.
Currently, ipa-client-install configures the sssd profile which in turns customizes /etc/nsswitch.conf but the subid database does not use IPA and relies only on the local files /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid.

As it may not be relevant in all cases to configure "subid: sss", it would be nice to have a new option, and keep the default behavior without this option (=do not configure subuid: sss).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subid feature was introduced in ipa-4.9.8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install ipa client with ipa-client-install
2. grep subid /etc/nsswitch.conf

Actual results:
subid not configured to use sss

Expected results:
ipa-client-install should provide an option to configure NSS with subid: sss


--- Additional comment from Florence Blanc-Renaud on 2022-03-24 12:50:24 UTC ---

In order to implement this feature, authselect must provide a mechanism to configure nss with subid: sss, hence adding dependency on the BZ 2063750
