Hi, I'll start by saying that much of the documentation seems to have been lost/moved after the project got moved off of fedorahosted.org. The only way I was able to get to the build instructions were via the wayback machine (https://web.archive.org/web/20170103042748/https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/Contribute). In addition, I'm not a full time developer.
We have an LDAP server, and due to reasons out of my control from a time long long before me, our uid field contains multiple entries. When users log on, if their uid isn't matched to the rdn value, sssd defaults to using the first entry (which you all know). This doesn't work for us because we can't predict (or change) the order of the values, though we'd like to make sure a certain uid is always used. The uid that we use internally is of a certain format (we prepend certain characters based on classification). I've rewritten one of the functions in sysdb.c to check for a uid that matches the format before defaulting to the first one. I've compiled/tested it on fedora 25 and it works as intended. i.e. Users are able to log in with their intended uid regardless of its order in LDAP. However, we use RHEL7. I can't build directly on a rhel7 machine because there's a large list of dependencies that can't be resolved. The list is below. Could someone help point me in the direction that I need to go to solve this? I'm not asking for code to be rewritten (I've already done that), I'm just looking for help building it on another flavor. I'd like to build an RPM that can be easily loaded onto new rhel7 vm's as we create them. I have the epel7 repo enabled, fwiw. I had thought many of these packages would be available there. cifs-utils-devel, jansson-devel, libcollection-devel, libdhash-devel >= 0.4.2, libini_config-devel >= 1.1, libldb-devel, libnfsidmap-devel, libnl3-devel, libsemanage-devel, libsmbclient-devel, libtalloc-devel, libtdb-devel, libtevent-devel, python3-devel, samba4-devel _______________________________________________ sssd-devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
