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 toasty 2022-12-09 22:57:29 UTC 
How reproducible:
IDM server with AD trust listening using POSIX attributes from AD.

  Client needs to pickup home directory as defined as AD attribute UnixHomeDirectory from Active Directory. Currently using under [nss] 

Steps to Reproduce:

    Setup IDM with AD trust listing to POSIX attributes from AD on server

    Set domain search order to have AD domain:IDM domain on server

    Restart idm

       ipactl restart

    On client or server put under [nss] override_homedir=%o in /etc/sss/sssd.conf

    Destructive clear cache and restart sssd; getent passwd jack

    service sssd stop ; rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/* /var/log/sssd/* ; service sssd start

    Run getent passwd <ad user>

Actual results:
See homedirectory as /home/<ad domain>/<user>

Expected results:
See homedirectory as defined in Active Directory attribute UnixHomeDirectory
Comment 2 Jerone Young 2022-12-10 02:54:20 UTC 
So this is still a problem as it's not really documented properly. I was able to decipher that the config changes for this only need to happen on the IDM server an d not the client:
       https://docs.pagure.org/sssd.sssd/design_pages/use_ad_homedir.html


Actions taken to fix and tested that work. Though not obvious:

- Remove override_homedir & failover_homedir from IDM client sssd.config

- On the IDM server in it's /etc/sssd/sssd.conf under the [domain/*] section add

  subdomain_homedir = %o
  fallback_homedir = /somewhere/home/%u

- On all IDM servers clear cache and restart IDM
              service sssd stop ; rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/* /var/log/sssd/* ; service sssd start; ipactl restart

- Last clear cache on client
               service sssd stop ; rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/* /var/log/sssd/* ; service sssd start;
- Lookup user on client .. notice it is now pulling home directory from AD

              getent passwd <user>
Comment 3 Florence Blanc-Renaud 2022-12-14 17:27:09 UTC 
Moving to sssd component, as the configuration of homedir is managed by SSSD.
