Issue #7911 has been updated by Jacob Helwig.
Seems reasonable to add an luseradd provider to mirror the existing useradd provider, then it could be just another user resource in the manifest. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7911: Can't handle local users in LDAP environment https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7911 Author: Rob Braden Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Our environment (mostly RHEL) uses LDAP for user and group administration. Unfortunately, we have some cases where (broken) software insists on local users and groups. I'm guessing it's checking the files directly instead of using the proper system calls. Puppet won't create the user locally, as it sees the user as already existing. RHEL does have local versions of the user and group management commands (luseradd, lusermod, etc). Would there be any implications to adding a 'local' provider for the user type that adds support for managing local users and groups in an environment where most accounts are managed remotely? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
