Hey,

Background:
so I came across the problem that snaps don't allow home directories outside /home (c.f. https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1620771 ).
So I use override_homedir in sssd.conf to fix this (I have to say almost since I still can't start the snaps in $HOME (/home/$USER) but any other directory, even $HOME/Desktop).
However, there is another layer of complication in my scenario: I don't have one file server but two that serve the home directories. Therefore, I use a autofs script to get the correct user mounts (auto.home.sh).

fs1  /fs1/home/$USER  ------+
                                              |------ client       sssd.conf:       override_homedir = /home/%u
fs2   /fs2/home/$USER ------+                        auto.home.sh: script to choose correct mountpoint for $USER

Problem:
I would like to get the original home directory (e.g. /fs1/home/$USER) on the client. getent passwd only gets me /home/$USER (overriden by the parameter override_homedir in sssd.conf). So my hacky solution is right now to use ldbsearch:

declare -r DOMAIN=example.com
declare -r LDBDB= /var/lib/sss/db/cache_bc.frontend.ldb
ldbsearch -H $LDBDB '($USER@$DOMAIN)' homeDirectory

Another possibilty would be to use ldapsearch directly but I would like to first query the sss cache.

Is there a better way to solve this problem?

Thanks
Steffen
