Description of problem: Hello, We have a big problem with sssd from version 1.5.x (RHEL 6.1 & Fedora 15) and not with version 1.2.1 (RHEL 6.0). We can no longer use sssd (1.5.x) with our LDAP directory, it does not work. This is due to an addition, see the mail from Stephen Gallagher: http://www.mail-archive.com/sssd-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org/msg05524.html (Patch 0003) When searching the primary name of a username, it works well for a DN based on the style: dn: uid=barras, ou=users, o=epfl, c=ch but the DN for our organization is: dn: cn=Benjamin Barras,ou=dit-sb,ou=p-dit,ou=p,o=epfl,c=ch and as the attribute "uid" is multi-valued: uid: barras uid: barras@dit-sb (this one just for administrative raison) this version of sssd wants to find a primary name. As our RDN uses the attribute "cn", it does not match (see log) but in fact, we doesn't want to use a primary name, but only the uid that we give (in this case uid=barras). We have approximately 12000 entries in our ldap directory and it works from many years ago. Actually, we modify ours configurations systems for do not use SSSD but nss-pam-pam_ldap and ldapd which work well from many years. Best regards, Benjamin Barras The decision upstream is that we will select the first value returned from LDAP in this case, though it may not be predictable since LDAP is not ordered.
Re-opening since the fix is not complete.

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: In cases user/group entry has multiple names and none of them matches RDN in LDAP an error occurred during processing of this entry in SSSD backend. Consequence: Entries with multiple names, with neither of them matching RDN, weren't stored and returned by SSSD. Fix: SSSD considers the first value returned by LDAP being primary entry name if it has multiple names and none of them matches LDAP RDN. Result: Users with multiple names are now stored and returned every time.
