Hello
I would like to configure authentication and authorization via nisNetgroups in 389ds. With "getent" on the 389ds client I see my groups and my users. If I query the netgroup via "getent netgroup <my_netgroup>" I do not
get any hit.
My netgroup you see below.
The log says:
tail -f /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-localhost/access
[29/Dec/2021:12:11:14.350690263 +0100] conn=851 op=13 SRCH base="ou=netgroup,dc=example,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(cn=qausers)(objectClass=nisNetgroup))" attrs="objectClass cn memberNisNetgroup nisNetgroupTriple modifyTimestamp [29/Dec/2021:12:11:14.351130562
+0100] conn=851 op=13 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 wtime=0.000194950 optime=0.000443964 etime=0.000636159
The last entries mean:
err=0: no error
tag=101: it was a search
nentries=0: no hits for the search
But ldap search with the same parameters yields the netgroup:
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -H ldaps://server.example.com -b ou=netgroup,dc=example,dc=com "(&(cn=qausers)(objectClass=nisNetgroup))" objectClass cn memberNisNetgroup nisNetgroupTriple modifyTimestamp
dn: cn=qausers,ou=netgroup,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: nisNetgroup
objectClass: top
cn: qausers
nisNetgroupTriple: (,alice,)
nisNetgroupTriple: (,eve,)
nisNetgroupTriple: (server.example.com,-,-)
nisNetgroupTriple: (server,-,-)
modifyTimestamp: 20211229105114Z
I replaced the real server name by server.example.com and deleted all quotes.
My nsswitch.conf contains
netgroup: files ldap sss
My sssd.conf contains:
ldap_netgroup_search_base = ou=netgroup,dc=example,dc=com
ldap_netgroup_object_class = nisNetgroup
ldap_netgroup_triple = nisNetgroupTriple
My 389ds-instance is created via
cat instance.inf
[general]
config_version = 2
[slapd]
root_password = my_pw
[backend-userroot]
sample_entries = yes
suffix = dc=example,dc=com
My client is configured via "authconfig-tui".
I already looked for special, normally unseen characters in the config files with "cat -vet /etc/sssd/sssd.conf" and "cat -vet /etc/nsswitch.conf", but did not find any.
Does it play a role, that the 389ds server and client see each other via entries in the /etc/hosts? I would assume "no", as getent can resolve both groups and users.
Can you help?
Best Regards, Tibor
