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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

### Issue
Issues have been found for group_add sequence processing with server context with the work on https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa/pull/1001
1) Using group_add in sequence processing to create several groups where one is external, all groups have objectclass ipaexternalgroup, even if external is set to False for the group_add command.
2) After creating a nonposix group, all following group_add calls to add posix groups calls are failing with `missing attribute "gidNumber" required by object class "posixGroup"`
#### Reproducer 1 (external)
from ipalib import api, errors
api.bootstrap_with_global_options(context='server')
api.finalize()
if api.env.in_server:
api.Backend.ldap2.connect()
else:
api.Backend.rpcclient.connect()
print("Remove 'testgroup1'")
try:
api.Command["group_del"]("testgroup1")
except errors.NotFound:
pass
print("Remove 'testgroup2'")
try:
api.Command["group_del"]("testgroup2")
except errors.NotFound:
pass
print("Create 'testgroup1' with external=True")
api.Command["group_add"]("testgroup1", external=True)
print("Create 'testgroup2' with external=False")
api.Command["group_add"]("testgroup2", external=False)
result1 = api.Command["group_show"]("testgroup1", all=True)["result"]
print("'testgroup1' userclass: %s" % repr(result1["objectclass"]))
result2 = api.Command["group_show"]("testgroup2", all=True)["result"]
print("'testgroup2' userclass: %s" % repr(result2["objectclass"]))
#### Reproducer 2 (nonposix)
from ipalib import api, errors
api.bootstrap_with_global_options(context='server')
api.finalize()
if api.env.in_server:
api.Backend.ldap2.connect()
else:
api.Backend.rpcclient.connect()
print("Remove 'testgroup1'")
try:
api.Command["group_del"]("testgroup1")
except errors.NotFound:
pass
print("Remove 'testgroup2'")
try:
api.Command["group_del"]("testgroup2")
except errors.NotFound:
pass
print("Remove 'testgroup3'")
try:
api.Command["group_del"]("testgroup3")
except errors.NotFound:
pass
print("Create 'testgroup1' with nonposix=False")
api.Command["group_add"]("testgroup1", nonposix=False)
try:
print("Create 'testgroup2' with nonposix=True")
api.Command["group_add"]("testgroup2", nonposix=True)
except Exception as e:
print(str(e))
try:
print("Create 'testgroup3' with external=True")
api.Command["group_add"]("testgroup3", external=True)
except Exception as e:
print(str(e))
#### Actual behavior
1) With reproducer 1 all groups are external.
$ python3 external_test.py
Remove 'testgroup1'
Remove 'testgroup2'
Create 'testgroup1' with external=True
Create 'testgroup2' with external=False
'testgroup1' userclass: ['top', 'groupofnames', 'nestedgroup', 'ipausergroup', 'ipaobject', 'ipaexternalgroup']
'testgroup2' userclass: ['top', 'groupofnames', 'nestedgroup', 'ipausergroup', 'ipaobject', 'ipaexternalgroup', 'posixgroup', 'ipantgroupattrs']
2) Reproducer 2 fails to create posix groups after nonposix group has been created.
$ python3 nonposix_test.py
Remove 'testgroup1'
Remove 'testgroup2'
Remove 'testgroup3'
Create 'testgroup1' with nonposix=False
Create 'testgroup2' with nonposix=True
missing attribute "gidNumber" required by object class "posixGroup"
Create 'testgroup3' with external=True
missing attribute "gidNumber" required by object class "posixGroup"
2) Reproducer 2 fails to create posix groups after nonposix group has been created.
#### Expected behavior
No issues.
