APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After turning on domainless groups (chsec -f
    /etc/secvars.cfg -s groups -a domainlessgroups=true),
    you might see that an LDAP user is listed by lsuser as
    belonging to the 'system' group, when they do not
    actually
    have membership to that group.
    

Local fix

  • WORKAROUND:
    ensure there is a mapping for the 'pgid' attribute in
     your user map file, such as:
    pgid   SEC_INT  gidnumber     s       na      yes
    

Problem summary

  • After turning on domainless groups (chsec -f
    /etc/secvars.cfg -s groups -a domainlessgroups=true),
    user might see that an LDAP user is listed by lsuser as
    belongs to the 'system' group, when they do not
    actually have membership to that group.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The group information is parsed properly when domainlessgroup
    attribute is defined.
    

Temporary fix
