[Freeipa-users] Service accounts and groups

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

I have had little to do with permissions until now so bear with me if the Qs are obviously stupid, probably not really IPA but a linux blind spot I have....anyway,

So I have a service account with its group this runs a database.

So oracle with uid 2000 and gid 2000.  I have some other users that need to be in the oracle user's group but I cant do that in IPA? 

So how do I get around that?

Or am I approaching it totally wrong?

I created a user group called oragrp gid 2001 but the user oracle is creating files with a uid of 2000 and gid of 2000 and not a gid of 2001 which I assume would fix it?

regards
