Hola, We have an interesting scenario that is hard to find any information on.
Due to permission restrictions, a NAS that is mounted and visible by both AD and 'nix clients, every user belongs to a particular primary group. When we try doing idoverride's on the groups, it fails with the Primary Group. In some cases, the primary group doesn't even appear in a getent or id request. Sometimes it appears with incorrect name or GID. We have found it hard to get repeatable "failures", but here are two: 1. getent group <groupname> (where groupname is any group, but is a primary group for a subset of members) - does not return any member that has groupname as a primary group in AD. 2. Overriding a group if the user has that group as a primary group (in AD), it will override the name, but not the GID. else, the override works. There were a number of other unusual results that are hard to explain how to reproduce because it was all so seemingly random. I feel like it would be an obvious need - to translate or override AD primary groups to FreeIPA groups, but this doesn't seem possible. Have we set IPA up incorrectly, or are we hitting on something else? I found this AD support problem for Win2003, but I feel like it's old and would surely have been solved? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/275523 Also, their solution ("hack AD, then hack your other LDAP software") is, for some reason, funny to me.
