<div>Hello all,</div>

<div>After the server and the client are installed, I run</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ipa user-add myname<br>
</div>
<div><br>

<div>to add users. The users are added successfully, but each
user get his own GID, which is the same as his UID, even
though "ipa config-show --all" shows<br>

<div>How do I put all new users to this ipausers group? If I use

<div>I tried to delete a user using "ipa user-del myname", but
the private group myname is left there. So I did the
following:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div># ipa group-del myname<br>
ipa: ERROR: Deleting a managed group is not allowed. It must
be detached first.<br>
# ipa group-detach myname<br>
ipa: ERROR: myname: group not found<br>
</div>
<div># ipa user-add myname<br>
First name: myfirstname<br>
Last name: mylastname<br>
ipa: ERROR: Unable to create private group. A group 'myname'
already exists.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>How do I get out of this loop?</div>

What is your platform and 389-ds-base version?<br>
<br>
I'm not familiar with group-detach, but you can manually detach and
remove the private group using ldapsearch and ldapmodify:<br>
<br>
assuming you have done kinit admin:<br>
1) ldapsearch -LLL -Y GSSAPI cn=myname dn<br>
This will give you the DN of the group - ignore any entries in the
compat tree<br>
<br>
2) ldapmodify -Y GSSAPI <<EOF<br>
dn: DN of the group from ldapsearch<br>
changetype: modify<br>
delete: objectclass<br>
objectclass: mepManagedEntry<br>
-<br>
delete: mepManagedBy<br>
-<br>
<br>
dn: DN of the group from ldapsearch<br>
changetype: delete<br>
EOF<br>
<br>
This will remove the private group.<br>
