sss_override user-export is empty

I made a change in UID for a user with sss_override but user-export to a
file does not export anything. I am using sssd version 1.15.2. Is this a
bug or may be I am doing something wrong? I followed the steps from this
https://jhrozek.wordpress.com/2016/02/15/sssd-local-overrides/

I ran these as root
# sssd --version
1.15.2
# sss_override user-add mwvande -u 4311
# systemctl restart sssd
# sss_override user-export foo
# cat foo
(no output)

I also tried it without the restart

# sss_override user-add mwvande -u 4311
# sss_override user-export foo
# cat foo
(no output)

Asif please try using the -n option also

sss_override user-add mwvande -n mwvande -u 4311

Also you perhaps need the group option   -g 4311   (I assume here the users
group is 4311)

Have you used the -n option ?


sss_overriide user-add mwvande -n mwvande -u 4311 -g4311


I also added a group option there, you might need it.

Hi Asif,
does 'getent passwd mwvande' yield overridden uid? Does the following 
command yield anything?

# sss_override user-find

[Spike White]

vadud,

I'm guessing a bug.  I tried similar, but with a different AD user.  Looks
fine, before and after systemctl restart.

[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# id spike_white
uid=25431(spike_white) gid=25431(spike_white)
groups=25431(spike_white),1010(amerunixusers)
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# sss_override user-add spike_white -u 4311
SSSD needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# sss_override  user-show spike_white
[e-mail]::4311:::::
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# systemctl restart sssd
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# sss_override  user-show spike_white
[e-mail]::4311:::::
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# sss_override  user-export foo
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# cat foo
[e-mail]::4311:::::
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]# sssd --version
1.16.0
[root@spikerealmd02 sssd]#

So -- good on version 1.16.0.

I'm curious where these sssd overrides reside.  I know for 'user' and
'group' access additions, they ultimately end up in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
file.  Not so for sss overrides.
