Description Varun Mylaraiah 2023-03-01 05:53:11 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2174309 +++

Description of problem:
The external group add fails while adding with members in the group module.
However, the group and its members were added. Additionally, I tested it on the CLI but I did not see any error.

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



Steps to Reproduce:
root@master ~]# ipa group-show testexternal
ipa: ERROR: testexternal: group not found

---
- name: Playbook to ensure a external group is present with members
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: true

  tasks:
  # Create group
  - ipagroup:
      ipaadmin_password: <xxxxxxx>
      name: testexternal
      external: yes
  - ipagroup:
      ipaadmin_password:  <xxxxxxx>
      name: testexternal
      action: member
      user: gmm_user01

PLAYBOOK: external_group_with_members.yaml ********************************************************************
1 plays in external_group_with_members.yaml

PLAY [Playbook to ensure a external group is present with members] ********************************************

PLAY RECAP ****************************************************************************************************
master.ipadomain.test      : ok=2    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=1    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0



**Group "testexternal" and its members "gmm_user01" were added**
[root@master ~]# ipa group-show testexternal --all
  dn: cn=testexternal,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=ipadomain,dc=test
  Group name: testexternal
  Member users: gmm_user01
  ipauniqueid: 3e42bd6a-b328-11ed-bc82-fa163e349009
  objectclass: top, groupofnames, nestedgroup, ipausergroup, ipaobject,
               ipaexternalgroup


Actual results:
FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "group_add_member: testexternal: Cannot perform external member validation without Samba 4 support installed. Make sure you have installed server-trust-ad sub-package of IPA on the server"}

Expected results:
Group should add without error.
