Bugs: AMBARI-13767
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-13767


Repository: ambari


Description
-------

Group Membership not pulled in with FreeIPA/RHELIDM

In FreeIPA/RHEL (389 DS for the directory server implementation) the DN is not 
an attribute on the user, and cannot be used in a filter like this:

(&(objectClass=posixaccount)(|(dn=uid=dstreev,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=hdp,dc=local)(uid=uid=dstreev,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=hdp,dc=local)))

In some cases all of the groups/users are gathered from an ldap query (then put 
into a set). I did the same, after ther filter the results based on dn (or 
uid/groupname if that is the case) in the java code.


Notes: 
- I filter the groups in memory, so there are some new places where I gathered 
all of the groups/users. (we alrady do that actually) maybe that can cause bad 
performance during the sync. I will do a performance testing with a lot of 
users at the weekend, and see how much we should wait based on the number of 
users,groups or on the nested group structure. in case of performance issues: I 
have an another solution :
 MemberAttributes can be used to query/filter on the groups/users. E.g.: in 
openldap the member attributes are names, like: hive,hadoop etc. -> there we 
can use the actual solution. In another providers, like freeIPA the member 
attributes looks like: uid=hive,cn=..., that means these attributes can be used 
in queries as the baseDN (so dn part is not needed in the filter), than the 
query wont fail. (I did not want to choose this solution for avoiding 
conditions based on how memberattributes looks like in different providers) 
 
 - there is no group-group relation in ambari. for nested groups: currently we 
don't see the user members in the upper groups. I could flatten the users to 
the upper groups during the sync, but it is not the right way to do it, because 
in case of we delete a user from the subgroup and we syncing only on the 
subgroup, the users are not deleted from the upper groups. (we can do that, but 
then we sync all of the groups..) 
-> the right way should be if we would see the subgroups in the upper groups 
(for that, we need the group-group relationship in the future)
