I would expect that the underlying mechanism used to gather user/group information from OpenLDAP would be the same regardless of whether enumeration is turned on or off. My understanding from reading the sssd documentation is that enumeration merely caches the user/group information locally. There must be something else going on that is causes the system to hang when enumeration is set to false/

Jakub,

my custom schema only extends the posixAccount to add some extra attributes. I make no changes to posixGroup.

ldapsearch -ZZ -x -D "uid=nss,dc=mydomain" -b "dc=mydomain" -w secret "uniqueMember=*"

returns nothing.

ldapsearch -ZZ -x -D "uid=nss,dc=mydomain" -b "dc=mydomain" -w secret "member=*"

returns the 175 groups in my ldap directory.

An example for a specific group (e.g. dvd) would be:

ldapsearch -ZZ -x -D "uid=nss,dc=mydomain" -b "dc=mydomain" -w secret "cn=dvd"

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <dc=mydomain> with scope subtree
# filter: cn=dvd
# requesting: ALL
#

# dvd, Group, mydomain
dn: cn=dvd,ou=Group,dc=mydomain
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: groupOfNames
objectClass: top
objectClass: apple-group
objectClass: extensibleObject
cn: dvd
gidNumber: 9075
description: dvd burner admin group
member: uid=user1,ou=People,dc=mydomain
member: uid=user2,ou=People,dc=mydomain

# search result
search: 3
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1


I hope this helps.

Scott
