#2794 [RFE] Provide interface which returns group-memberships by name for a given user
Closed: cloned-to-github 3 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 8 years ago by sbose.

The IPA extdom plugin returns the group-memberships of a user to IPA client as a list of fully qualified group names. Currently it uses getgrouplist() to get a list of GIDs and calls getgrgid() the translate them into names. It would improve performance if the can be done in a single call to SSSD. Currently the extdom plugin already call sss_nss_getorigbyname() to get additional user data which is not available on the standard POSIX calls. If it can be implemented in a safe way which does not break older callers maybe the list of group-names can be returned by the call as well?.

This might be a nice addition to the performance enhancements in 1.14

milestone: SSSD 1.14 beta => SSSD 1.14 backlog

Since the 1.14 branch is transitioning into maintenance mode and new functionality is being developed in master which will become 1.15 eventually, I'm mass-moving tickets from the 1.14 backlog milestone to the "Future releases" milestone.
