#2570 Document how to handle setups that only wish to include certain groups
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by jhrozek.

I haven't thought this ticket through that much, but there is a need from some users to only include several groups in the getgrnam/getgrgid requests. It was suggested to use a custom LDAP filter, but it seems that method is too cumbersome.

This ticket tracks either explaining the filter better or perhaps adding a new filter option. Details tbd.


This is for example for Hadoop. The nodes care about specific set of groups that have a meaning in a Hadoop setup. There is no sense to pull all the groups from the central DS.

We will document that AD deployments must turn off tokengroup support and why. There is already some documentation in the man pages, but it's not sufficient.
