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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.
1. Proposed title of this feature request
Allow per user modification to login shell and home directory by reading the value from AD when there is a trusted relationship between AD and IPA.
2. Who is the customer behind the request?
Account: name (acct #1168178)
TAM customer: no
SRM customer: no
Strategic: no
3. What is the nature and description of the request?
Currently there is only a default template applied by SSSD for the login shell and the home directory. SSSD should be able to read the unix home directory and shell attribute from AD and use that. If the value doesn't exist then it can use a default value.
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
He would like to customize home directories and login shells on a user by user basis.
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
SSSD uses the unix login home directory and shell from AD.
The customer also suggested locally configuring an sssd value for each user. This may be possible with something like the "username map" option used in the smb.conf where another file is referenced that contains home directory and shell values for users.
6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
The home directory and shell attributes listed in AD are used.
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
A tracking bug was/is also going to be created in Red Hat Bugzilla by sbose
He said to create this one for SSSD as well.
8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
RHEL6
9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
no
10. List any affected packages or components.
sssd
11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
Yes, this is a tech preview for IPA and they are currently evaluating it.
