sssd experts,
With an AD backend, by default the AD provider sets case_sensitive ==
False. This has the desired action of lower-casing user names. (and group
names). But not home directories.
How can we similarly lower case home directories? Our AD admins have an
edict to camel-case their home directory and user name entries in AD.
(Apparently, some high-level manager wishes to see user names in camel
case.)
In our old commercial AD integration product, it had a setting:
lowercase-homedirs = true
and then it took whatever it found in AD and merely lower cased it.
To sort of work around this problem when doing a sssd migration, we have
set:
[nss]
override_homedirs = /home/%u
This works. But effectively, this is throwing out whatever is in AD and
replacing it with /home/<lower case user name>
This only works because all our home dirs. are under /home. What about
other companies that need to lower-case their home dirs., but they’re not
always under /home? How would you lower-case home dirs. in sssd?
