James, Let me see if I understand your statement. Suppose my desired UID for admspike_white is 1234. So using POSIX attributes, you had assigned uidNumber == 1234 and gidNumber == 1234 on the user account admspike_white in AD. For each user you had done this.
But you had not do the step further and created an actual group object with name 'admspike_white' and gidNumber == 1234. If that's correct, to my mind: 1. without auto_private_groups, your user's account reference to gidNumber == 1234 is a "dangling reference". A reference to a group object that does not exist in your AD deployment. 2. with auto_private_groups, sssd takes the uidNumber (of 1234), invents the fiction of a group with the same name and gidNumber of 1234. id admspike_white reports this fiction as the primary group. In this case, the gidNumber == 1234 would be ignored by sssd (except it'd be reported as one of the supplemental groups in the 'id' command). Do I have this right?
