[Freeipa-users] freeipa and User Private Groups

[Les Stott]

Jakub,

Thanks for the follow up.

We try and stick to standard rhel/epel repo's (due to policy) so I am not able to install a non-standard version of sssd.

I have decided to disable the User Private Group plugin and convert ipausers to a posix group. There was nothing I could see that required us to use UPG's. This setup is working for me now.

Thanks,

Les
