Description Jakub Hrozek 2011-03-22 17:58:55 UTC
Description of problem:
when performing initgroups in the IPA provider, only the user we are performing initgroups for is stored in cache.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-14.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. start with clear cache
1. log in as user who is a member of a group that contains at least one other user
2. run id to get the list of the groups
3. getent passwd <group> only shows the user you are logged in as
  
Actual results:
getent group does not show all users

Expected results:
all users are reported

Additional info:
The root cause is storing the group as not expired even when not all the members are present in the cache. Next time getgrnam/getgrgid is called, the group is not refreshed with the other members and just returned.

sgallagh stopped by...and i realized i hadn't started with step 0 - clean cache. With a clean cache, verified successfully that the group listed all its users
