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.

Red Hat Bugzilla 683523 0 high CLOSED [RFE] Use sssd (when available) for automounter map lookups in LDAP 2021-02-22 00:41:40 UTC

Internal Links: 683523

Description J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) 2011-03-09 16:07:49 UTC 
2. What is the nature and description of the request?
Customer would like SSSD to support additional RFC2307bis services. In particular:
1. services
2. hosts
3. automount
4. printers
5. networks/netmasks
6. RPC/protocols
7. aliases


   3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
Customer currently stores significant data in LDAP following the RFC2307
standards which are supported by nss_ldap. SSSD does not support all of the
RFC2307 standard.

   4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
Via an update to SSSD to support these additional LDAP entries.

   5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Using sss as the only database in nsswitch.conf, a 'entry' lookup should return
the data in LDAP.

   6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?
no

   7. How quickly does this need resolved? (desired target release)
Minor

   8. Does this request meet the RHEL Inclusion criteria (please review)
Yes

   9. List the affected packages
sssd

  10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
Yes

Plans are in place to eventually support the hosts map: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/359

SSSD cannot support automap, as this is not handled through the glibc NSS interfaces (and consequently is not handled by nss_ldap either)

The other maps are open for discussion, but their use in customer environments is rare (and for good reason). I recommend that this BZ be split into separate ones for each map, as it is unlikely that we will be able to add support for all of them at the same time.

There is a separate RFE for autofs to use the glibc NSS interfaces for its lookups:

Thank you taking your time and submitting this request for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, this bug was not given a priority and was deferred both in the upstream project and in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request in following Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases, I am closing the Bugzilla as DEFERRED. To request that Red Hat re-considers the decision, please re-open the Bugzilla via appropriate support channels and provide additional business and/or technical details about its importance to you.

Note that you can still track this request or even contribute patches in the referred upstream Trac ticket.
Note You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
