Subject: libnfsidmap: Virtual domains/users handling with at sign in idmap
Package: libnfsidmap
Version: 0.23
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Idmap fails to map uid to localname or vice versa in case an 'at' ( @ ) sign
is included in the localname.
This is particularly the case of virtual domains username where
a user@virtual_domain is in fact the username and its @ sign conflicts with
username@idmap_domain format used by idmap to handle uid/localname
conversions.
Where username = user@virtual_domain.
Idmap is still able to map uid/localname correctly when the username
does not
include an @ sign.
Both NFS Server and Client are PAM/NSS clients of an OpenLDAP Server that
handles users & groups. NFSv4 is used and without kerberos and "nsswitch"
Translation method is used rather than umich_ldap.
Idmap looks for the first occurrence of and @ sign in the name string
and assumes that the @ sign is the one of user@virtual_domain rather than
using the one of username@idmap_domain (user@virtual_domain@idmap_domain).
The function "strip_domain" is defined in nss.c file and uses "strchr"
function on line 138 to find the first occurrence of an @ sign from the name
string.
As the name string includes 2 occurrences, the domain resulting from that
(virtual_domain@idmap_domain) fails to match with the configured idmap
domain
(idmap_domain) and this causes idmap returning a null value.
Switching from "strchr" to "strrchr" simply fix the problem as it would look
for the last occurrence rather than the first one and therefore has a
resulting
domain that matched the idmap one.
This obviously makes sense as a URI should be read from right to left
and not
from left to right when handling domains.
The idmap domain is this way the root domain and all virtual domains
included
in the username it handles will not conflicts with it.
