In my opinion the whole rfc3704bis implementation of net groups is wonky.

This isn’t the only problem. Why is there a distinction between internal and 
external hosts? Suppose I add an external host to a net group, and later do ipa 
host-add for it. If the distinction actually matters I’d expect the system to 
turn the external host entry into an internal host entry. But it doesn’t.

In principle there’s a difference between blank and -, but the ipa 
implementation always produces - for missing user and host and blank for 
missing domain name.

I’d really rather see the system just store the triples rather than doing a 
complex mapping going in and out.

Pavel, does this sound like the bug you were looking at wrt sudo lately?

Netapp wants the domain field to be blank. That leaves us a problem that’s hard

OK, I see what’s going on, but it looks like a bug.

We mostly use net groups for hosts. In NIS our entries like like (hostname,,)  
You can put that into IPA by specifying NISdomain=, i.e. blank domain name. 
However if you do that, getent shows no entries. That is, entries with blank 
hostname are ignored. I claim this is a bug, since for a host entry there’s no 
reason to specify a domain.

I also found that specifying

ipa_netgroup_domain=cs.rutgers.edu<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcs.rutgers.edu%2F&data=02%7C01%7Chedrick%40rutgers.edu%7Cfdea024ced1e456bf72208d526f561b0%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C636457757716393543&sdata=AA3P65kxArCD2WkRwAkGV5ci5jaCN54AZKPZ%2B8O4tbc%3D&reserved=0>

causes no net groups to display, even ones whose domain is 
cs.rutgers.edu<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcs.rutgers.edu%2F&data=02%7C01%7Chedrick%40rutgers.edu%7Cfdea024ced1e456bf72208d526f561b0%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C636457757716393543&sdata=AA3P65kxArCD2WkRwAkGV5ci5jaCN54AZKPZ%2B8O4tbc%3D&reserved=0>.
 This also looks like a bug.

We want to move our net groups from NIS to IPA. I’ve loaded the groups. They’re 
visible on a system that uses nslcd pointed at the IPA server. But the systems 
that use SSSD for authentication don’t show anything. The net groups all show 
as undefined.

I’ve turned on debugging and looked at the LDAP logs. It does the right quotes 
and the log says it extracts the members. But they don’t show up.

Any idea where to look?

Can you send us some example of what you are trying to achieve and what does not work? I'm also ccing Alexander Bokovoy to see why IPA adds somewhere dash and somewhere blanks.
