Netapp wants the domain field to be blank. That leaves us a problem that’s hard to solve.

OK, I see what’s going on, but it looks like a bug.

We mostly use net groups for hosts. In NIS our entries like like (hostname,,)  You can put that into IPA by specifying NISdomain=, i.e. blank domain name. However if you do that, getent shows no entries. That is, entries with blank hostname are ignored. I claim this is a bug, since for a host entry there’s no reason to specify a domain.

I also found that specifying 

ipa_netgroup_domain=cs.rutgers.edu

causes no net groups to display, even ones whose domain is cs.rutgers.edu. This also looks like a bug.

We want to move our net groups from NIS to IPA. I’ve loaded the groups. They’re visible on a system that uses nslcd pointed at the IPA server. But the systems that use SSSD for authentication don’t show anything. The net groups all show as undefined.

I’ve turned on debugging and looked at the LDAP logs. It does the right quotes and the log says it extracts the members. But they don’t show up.

Any idea where to look?
