Hello all,
The kerberos provider (Active Directory) in our environments uses all
numeric username. If we configure SSSD to use Active Directory for the
Auth Provider, then we will end up with the All-number Usernames on
Linux.
What are our options?
In general SSSD should be fine here but afaik we do not test this kind
of setup.
However many system tools check if the input is numeric and assume that
the input is a POSIX ID in this case. So as long as the number used for
the numeric user name is not that same as the POSIX UID of the user I
would strictly recommend against it (btw what about the group names?).
