Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • There is an Organisational Unit referred to as an ou defined for every server
  • For every server, there are different group(s), How do I seach for group(s) in a particular ou using SSSD?
  • Why I'm able to see all the group(s) when searching for particular member of group?
  • When searching for groups, sssd does not display the expected groups for a server.

    • Executing groups testuser returns the error:

      groups: cannot find name for group ID 3000
      
    • However, the id command shows:

      id testuser
      uid=4002(testuser) gid=3000 groups=3000
      

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
