Hello everybody, I came across a difference on how getent returns users and groups differently on sssd- and VAS-based systems.
Here is the behaviour.
RHEL7 - getent passwd/group (with no other parameters) will list all AD users/groups
nsswitch config:
passwd: files vas4
group: files vas4
RHEL8 - getent passwd/group (with no other parameters) will list only all local users/groups, but getent passwd/group [user/group] lists user/group specific information correctly. It just wouldn't list all the users/groups as it happened on RHEL7 using VAS.
nsswitch config:
passwd: files sss systemd
group: files sss systemd
Can someone explain the difference in behaviour please?
