Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

Description Kaushik Banerjee 2012-10-31 14:12:46 UTC
Description of problem:
Nested groups not retrieved appropriately from cache

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.9.2-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a nested group structure in AD as follows:
tuser1_top_grp1
      |
tuser1_mid_grp1
      |
    tuser1

2. Configure sssd to lookup users and groups via ldap provider:
The domain section that I used:
[domain/ADTEST]
debug_level = 0xFFF0
id_provider = ldap
ldap_schema = ad
ldap_uri = ldap://adserver
ldap_default_bind_dn = cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=sssdad,dc=com
ldap_default_authtok = xxxxxx
ldap_search_base = dc=sssdad,dc=com
ldap_force_upper_case_realm = True
ldap_referrals = false

3. 
Issue1:
Lookup tuser1 in the following sequence:
# service sssd stop;rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/* /var/lib/sss/mc/*;service sssd start
Stopping sssd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting sssd:                                             [  OK  ]

# getent group tuser1_mid_grp1
tuser1_mid_grp1:*:10004:tuser1

# getent group tuser1_top_grp1
tuser1_top_grp1:*:10003:tuser1

# id tuser1
uid=10004(tuser1) gid=10004(tuser1_mid_grp1) groups=10004(tuser1_mid_grp1)   <== Doesn't show tuser1_top_grp1

Issue2:
# service sssd stop;rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/* /var/lib/sss/mc/*;service sssd start
Stopping sssd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting sssd:                                             [  OK  ]

# getent group tuser1_top_grp1
tuser1_top_grp1:*:10003:tuser1

# getent group tuser1_mid_grp1
tuser1_mid_grp1:*:10004:tuser1,tuser1    <== tuser1 is seen twice
  
Actual results:

Expected results:
a. for Issue1:
# id tuser1
uid=10004(tuser1) gid=10004(tuser1_mid_grp1) groups=10004(tuser1_mid_grp1),10003(tuser1_top_grp1)

b. for Issue2:
# getent group tuser1_mid_grp1
tuser1_mid_grp1:*:10004:tuser1
