Description Stephen Gallagher 2011-04-27 16:13:13 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #699530 +++

Description of problem:
The root cause of the problem is that his users have a non-LDAP primary group. So when we attempt to look up their primary group in the cache for authorization, we cannot find it and throw an error.

We need to make the primary group lookup a best-effort.

Patch is available upstream.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-30.el6

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a user in LDAP with a primary GID set to a non-LDAP group (such as the "users" group (ID 100).
2. Also add the user to a legitimate ldap group (e.g. ldapusers)
2. Set up SSSD to use the simple access provider
3. Use 'simple_allow_groups = ldapusers'
  
Actual results:
User is denied.
/var/log/secure reports "System Error"

Expected results:
User is granted access
