Hi sssd-users,
My LDAP setup contains two bases:
dc=office1,dc=company,dc=tld
dc=office2,dc=company,dc=tld
Groups can cross-reference other groups in the two bases, like this:
cn=printer-access,ou=groups,dc=office1,dc=company,dc=tld
- member: cn=everybody,ou=groups,dc=office1,dc=company,dc=tld
- member: cn=everybody,ou=groups,dc=office2,dc=company,dc=tld
cn=printer-access,ou=groups,dc=office2,dc=company,dc=tld
- member: cn=everybody,ou=groups,dc=office2,dc=company,dc=tld
What I'm trying achieve is to have a server belonging to office1 being able
to expand all groups, even if the references are across office boundary,
but only see the leaf groups that are in its own base.
What I've tried is something like this:
[domain/office1]
debug_level = 9
enumerate = true
cache_credentials = true
entry_cache_timeout = 600
id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
chpass_provider = ldap
ldap_search_base = dc=company,dc=tld
ldap_group_search_base = dc=office1,dc=company,dc=tld
# Also tried with:
# ldap_group_search_base = dc=company,dc=tld?subtree?(dc:dn:=office1)
ldap_schema = rfc2307bis
ldap_group_member = member
ldap_group_nesting_level = 5
ldap_uri = ldaps://xxx
ldap_tls_reqcert = hard
ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/ssl/ldap-ca.crt
Sadly this does not work, which I'm not that surprised over. The lookup
logic reports:
(Sun May 20 14:00:29 2018) [sssd[be[ office1]]] [sdap_save_grpmem]
(0x0400): Adding member users to group [printer-access@office1]
(Sun May 20 14:00:29 2018) [sssd[be[ office1]]] [sdap_find_entry_by_origDN]
(0x4000): Searching cache for [
cn=everybody,ou=groups,dc=office2,dc=company,dc=tld].
(Sun May 20 14:00:29 2018) [sssd[be[ office1]]] [sdap_fill_memberships]
(0x0080): Member [ cn=everybody,ou=groups,dc=office2,dc=company,dc=tld] was
not found in cache. Is it out of scope?
Looking at the way things are executed in code and logs it seems like there
is no "post processing" to drop groups based on LDAP attributes, nor is
there any way for me to add attributes to the full name of the resource to
disambiguate them. Those are the two ways I've been attacking this, and
both seems to not be supported.
Are my observations correct? Is there a workaround other than making sure
groups have unique names across the whole company?
When groups are not colliding in name everything works just fine if I
put " ldap_group_search_base
= dc=company,dc=tld", but I'd prefer if I could avoid having to resort to
globally unique group names.
Thanks,
P.S. My groups are named differently and have been renamed in the log
messages. Let me know if something doesn't make sense and I might have
typo'd a replacement.
