We use a NetApp device, and although we have asked NetApp to implement the sssd algorithm as a way to map the SIDs of AD users/groups to Unix uids/gids, and they have said they will eventually do so, they have not given us a timeframe for implementation. But NetApp can synchronize its passwd/group files via an external URL. So what we did instead was to set up a web server that serves passwd and group files for the NetApp. To generate the files, I wrote a utility called genent that reads AD LDIF data and synthesizes passwd(5) and group(5) files the same as sssd does, but only needs one call to getgrnam(3) to do so: https://github.com/qralston/genent If you find it useful, I welcome and encourage feedback… _______________________________________________ sssd-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
