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.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: SSSD didn't store alternative names in case user/group had them. Consequence: Members of groups weren't returned by SSSD if the 'member' attribute had different value than what was determined as primary name for that member object. Fix: SSSD stores all user name / group name aliases in cache. When determining membership structure, SSSD checks for aliases in addition to the primary name Result: Membership structure is correctly determined and returned.

Description Kaushik Banerjee 2011-09-15 12:23:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
Enumerating a group doesn't return it's member for sometime when the member has multi-valued uid.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-51.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a user and group as:
dn: cn=kau23,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
uidNumber: 232323
gidNumber: 232323
homeDirectory: /home/kau23
userPassword:: U2VjcmV0MTIz
uid: kau23_1
uid: kau23
cn: kau23

dn: cn=kau23_grp1,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
gidNumber: 232323
objectClass: posixGroup
memberUid: kau23
cn: kau23_grp1

2. Clear cache and Lookup the non-primary username kau23.
#"getent -s sss passwd kau23"

3. Try to lookup the group kau23_grp1.

[ ~]# getent -s sss group kau23_grp1
kau23_grp1:*:232323:
[ ~]# getent -s sss group kau23_grp1
kau23_grp1:*:232323:
[ ~]# getent -s sss group kau23_grp1
kau23_grp1:*:232323:kau23

  
Actual results:
The group lookup doesn't list the member immediately after executing command "getent -s sss passwd kau23"

Expected results:
Lookup of the group should always return:
kau23_grp1:*:232323:kau23

Additional info:
Comment 3 Kaushik Banerjee 2011-10-14 12:31:59 UTC 
Group lookup returns the member appropriately in first attempt:

# getent -s sss passwd kau23
kau23_1:*:232323:232323:kau23:/home/kau23:

# getent -s sss group kau23_grp1
kau23_grp1:*:232323:kau23_1
