[Bug 1097251] Re: NFSv4 server - no uid/gid mapping

[Craig Yoshioka]

I can confirm seeing this as well.  Furthermore, I've narrowed it down
by trying multiple linux distros (ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04, mint 15,
debian, centos) and different ldap systems (ldap, ldapd, sssd).

The strangest instance is that ubuntu 12.04 desktop is broken but 12.04
server works.    If I upgrade a 12.04 server by installing the desktop
package, it continues working (but not if I install 12.04 desktop
directly from CD).

To be clear.  In all the configurations I've tested I can get ldap and
nss/pam working correctly (getent shows all the correct entries and I
can su and login as ldap users) but on some machines, Ubuntu 12.04
Desktop and Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop AND Server NFS4 idmap is broken with
ldap users.   Sometimes the correct user and groups show up on the
files, but trying to chown and chmod the files fails.  THe system log
also fills up with errors of the type the OP described, where idmap is
tyring to map a userid number as a string rather than username at domain.

Title:
  NFSv4 server - no uid/gid mapping

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Configuration:
  NFS server: Ubuntu 12.10
  NFS client: CentOS 5.8

  Using NFSv4 to export directories.

  After having updated my Ubuntu server to 12.10, CentOS 5.8 NFS client
  list all files directory as user / group nobody.

  The setup was fully working in 12.04:
  - idmapd.conf is fully configured on both client and server
  - rpc.idmapd is running on both side
  - uid/gid are identical on both side (using LDAP)
  - LDAP authentication is working properly

  Analyze logs on the client and network packets, the server is sending
  uid/gid (numbers) when answering GETATTR request while the client is
  expecting user at domain strings  (which is what another Ubuntu 12.04
  server is sending), Increasing verbosity of rpc.idmapd on the server
  didn't yield anything in the server logs. It seems that the uid to
  name translation is not happening.
