#2436 ipa user private group not found
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by jhrozek.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6): Bug 1139044

Description of problem:

In IPA on RHEL6, I see errors logging in as a user:

[root@ipa slapd-EXAMPLE-COM]# ssh -l ipauser1 $(hostname)
ipauser1@ipa.example.com's password:
Could not chdir to home directory /home/ipauser1: No such file or directory
id: cannot find name for group ID 982000001
-sh-4.1$ exit

From sssd log (from IPA client here) I see:

(Sun Sep  7 13:50:26 2014) [sssd[be[example.com]]] [sdap_get_generic_ext_step]
(0x0400): calling ldap_search_ext with [(&(cn=ipauser1)(objectclass=groupofname
s)(cn=*)(&(gidNumber=*)(!(gidNumber=0))))][cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com].

Checking the group info in IPA:

[root@ipa slapd-EXAMPLE-COM]# ipa group-show ipauser1 --all --raw
  dn: cn=ipauser1,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
  cn: ipauser1
  description: User private group for ipauser1
  gidnumber: 982000001
  ipauniqueid: bbef789c-36be-11e4-a38e-0000c0a87a65
  mepmanagedby: uid=ipauser1,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
  objectclass: posixgroup
  objectclass: ipaobject
  objectclass: mepManagedEntry
  objectclass: top

I do not see objectclass groupofnames.

If I add that, I can start seeing user private group:

[root@ipa slapd-EXAMPLE-COM]# ldapmodify  -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w
Secret123 <<EOF
dn: cn=ipauser1,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
add: objectClass
objectClass: groupofnames
EOF

modifying entry "cn=ipauser1,cn=groups,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com"

[root@ipa slapd-EXAMPLE-COM]# getent group ipauser1
ipauser1:*:982000001:
[root@ipa slapd-EXAMPLE-COM]# ssh -l ipauser1 $(hostname)
ipauser1@ipa.example.com's password:
Last login: Sun Sep  7 14:08:14 2014 from ipa.example.com
Could not chdir to home directory /home/ipauser1: No such file or directory
-sh-4.1$


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-3.0.0-42.el6.x86_64
sssd-1.11.6-29.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On RHEL6.6 server setup IPA server wtih DNS (ipa-server-install --setup-dns
--forwarder=<IP> ...)
2. ipa user-add ipauser1 --first=f --last=l --password
3. kinit ipauser1 # set password
4. getent group ipauser1
5. ssh -l ipauser1 $(hostname)


Actual results:
cannot see user private group for ipauser1.

Expected results:
can see upg for ipauser1 without having to add groupaddnames manually

confirmed I'm seing this on a test F21-on-F21 (client and server) deployment , though strangely not on my production deployment with F19 server but F21 client. Probably a candidate for F21 freeze exception, I'll file a downstream bug.

In the case that works, groupofnames does not match on my user's private group, but does match on a couple of other non-private groups - perhaps as long as some group matches the groupofnames check, the user's private group is picked up later and the bug is hidden? Anyway, I definitely confirm it in a clean deployment using ipa user-add and not using any supplementary groups.

Anyway, I definitely confirm it in a clean deployment using ipa user-add and not using any supplementary groups.

On IPA server, regular POSIX group (added with ipa group-add) have both posixGroup and groupOfNames, regular non-POSIX groups have only groupOfNames and user private groups only carry posixGroup.

So we need to have a way on the client to match several object classes for the same object type which we haven't done before.

Actually, correction: after a reboot, I'm seeing this bug in my production deployment too (the one where my user is a member of some other groups). So I guess it was a regression in a recent sssd update, either 1.12.1-1 or 1.12.0-7 ?

[adamw@adam live]$ id
uid=1001(adamw) gid=1001 groups=1001,491(mock),157400008(sysadmins) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

note there's no name associated with group 1001. Found my first practical consequence of this too - virt-manager won't work:

Unable to connect to libvirt.

Failed to find group record for gid '1001'

edit: For F21 this looks like a regression in 1.12.1-1 . I downgraded all packages to 1.12.0-7.fc21 , restarted sssd , logged in on a VT and that login has correct 'id' output.
