#1653 [RFE] Reconsider the use of memberof in initgroups
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 11 years ago by jhrozek.

This came up during a discussion I had with Simo the other day about ghost users and group memberships mechanisms in general.

Currently we use an ASQ call during sysdb_initgroups() to retrieve all groups the user is a member of by dereferencing his memberof attribute. But since we introduced the ghost attribute we might use a filter on the ghost attribute such as (&(objectclass=group)(ghost=username)) and eventually even reconsider if we need the memberof attribute at all.

This is a good tracker on whether we need the memberof plugin at all or whether we can drastically reduce it.

Mass-moving tickets not planned for the 1.13 release to 1.14

milestone: SSSD 1.13 backlog => SSSD 1.14 beta

This ticket makes sense, but the 1.14 milestone is already too big. I'm moving the ticket to 1.15 beta
