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.

Fixed In Version: sssd-1.9.1-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The proxy domain type of SSSD allowed only looking up a user by its "primary name" in LDAP Consequence: If the SSSD was configured with a "proxy domain" and the LDAP entry contained more name attributes, only the primary one could be used for lookups Fix: The proxy provider was enhanced to handle also aliases in addition to primary user names. Result: The administrator can look up a user by any of his names when using the proxy provider.

Description Kaushik Banerjee 2012-03-13 10:45:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
Unable to lookup user aliases with proxy provider.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.8.0-15

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a user in ldap server as:
dn: uid=User_CS1,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
uidNumber: 1111111
gidNumber: 1111111
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: account
cn: User_CS1
homeDirectory: /home/user_cs1
userPassword: Secret123
uid: User_CS1_Alias

2. Configure proxy provider domain in sssd as follows:

[domain/PROXY]
debug_level=0xFFF0
id_provider = proxy
case_sensitive = true
proxy_lib_name = ldap
proxy_pam_target = sssdproxyldap

3. Lookup user & alias via nss_ldap:

# getent -s ldap passwd User_CS1_Alias
User_CS1_Alias:Secret123:1111111:1111111:User_CS1:/home/user_cs1:
# getent -s ldap passwd User_CS1
User_CS1:Secret123:1111111:1111111:User_CS1:/home/user_cs1:

4. Lookup user & alias via nss_sss:

# getent -s sss passwd User_CS1_Alias
User_CS1_Alias:*:1111111:1111111:User_CS1:/home/user_cs1:
# getent -s sss passwd User_CS1    <== Doesn't return anything.
  
Actual results:
Unable to lookup user aliases.

sssd_PROXY.log shows:

(Tue Mar 13 14:04:01 2012) [sssd[be[PROXY]]] [acctinfo_callback] (0x0100): Request processed. Returned 3,17,Internal Error (Failure setting user credentials)

Expected results:
Should be able to lookup user aliases.
