I have a running IPA server which has both POSIX and NON-POSIX User Groups. However, I'm not using FreeIPA in a classic manner, mostly just as a LDAP server with GUI making it easier for end users to manage their stuff.
I'm curious if there's a difference between Users or Users Groups when assigning these to a POSIX or NON-POSIX user group?
E.g
A user was not able to SSH into a machine because the user couldn't be found as a member of the group:
$ getent group test-group
test-group:*:5010:
In the example above, I have attached memebership to another User Group: end_users --> test-group. However, if give a user in end_users direct access to the test-group, they can successfully SSH and they're shown in the getent command:
$ getent group test-group
test-group:*:5010:userX
Of course, with NON-POSIX group I'm not able to run any commands, but I haven't had any problems when I
