What I've tried is something like this: [domain/office1] debug_level = 9 enumerate = true cache_credentials = true entry_cache_timeout = 600 id_provider = ldap auth_provider = ldap chpass_provider = ldap ldap_search_base = dc=company,dc=tld ldap_group_search_base = dc=office1,dc=company,dc=tld # Also tried with: # ldap_group_search_base = dc=company,dc=tld?subtree?(dc:dn:=office1) ldap_schema = rfc2307bis ldap_group_member = member ldap_group_nesting_level = 5 ldap_uri = ldaps://xxx ldap_tls_reqcert = hard ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/ssl/ldap-ca.crt Sadly this does not work, which I'm not that surprised over.

Looking at the way things are executed in code and logs it seems like there is no "post processing" to drop groups based on LDAP attributes, nor is there any way for me to add attributes to the full name of the resource to disambiguate them. Those are the two ways I've been attacking this, and both seems to not be supported. Are my observations correct? Is there a workaround other than making sure groups have unique names across the whole company? When groups are not colliding in name everything works just fine if I put " ldap_group_search_base = dc=company,dc=tld", but I'd prefer if I could avoid having to resort to globally unique group names. Thanks, P.S. My groups are named differently and have been renamed in the log messages. Let me know if something doesn't make sense and I might have typo'd a replacement.

My groups are named differently and have been renamed in the log messages. Let me know if something doesn't make sense and I might have typo'd a replacement. Yes, I must admit I got a bit confused. Is the issue related to both members in your example having the same name? IOW, if you have “everybody” and “nobody” in different subtrees, are those resolved correctly? If I understand your question, yes - it's related to having the same name of sorts, but only indirectly. The naive search base would be the common ancestor DN, which would be in this example dc=company,dc=tld. Given that sssd-ldap says: "Note: It is unsupported to have multiple search bases which reference identically-named objects (for example, groups with the same name in two different search bases). This will lead to unpredictable behavior on client machines.”

that scares me a bit (problem 1) - but also because I want to limit the amount of groups the servers are exposed to when belonging to office1 and office2 in this case (problem 2). If I change the name of the groups to be everybody-office1 etc. (unique names across the common ancestor) everything works (solved problem 1) but problem 2 still remains. Actually, the above solution is what we're currently running while I try to figure out if it's feasible to take this a step further to solve problem 2. That's why I want to see if I can limit the search base to be limited to office1 yet still offer full expansion.

Does that make sense or did I just make it less clear? :-) I've since found the dynlist overlay in OpenLDAP which may solve this need by having OpenLDAP flatten the group membership attribute, which would then make this work as I want if I set the per-office search base. But if SSSD can/should do it by itself that would of course be neater for me. Chris
