[ovirt-users] ovirt with 389 server inactive groups

Wed Aug 13 20:47:40 UTC 2014

Ok so before I open a bug ticket I want to confirm I'm not doing any
thing wrong here.
I upgraded to 3.4
now it says "Active:    false " on LDAP groups.

Again I tried to add the sysadmin group from the directory server and
set the power user and super user roles on the group
it shows up as "<domain name>/Groups/sysadmin"
I adder the permisions by clicking on the configure link on the top of
the screen and set them in the "System Permissions" tab

I added a user (pmarino) to the system which shows in the "Directory
Group" tab shows "sysadmin    groups       <domian name>" among others
however it only shows in the Permissions tab the permissions inherited
by "Everyone" it does not show any permissions inherited by the
sysadmin group.

just to prove it didnt work I logged out and attempted to log back in
as the user (pmarino) it wouldn't let me log in

I logged back in as the internal admin user then I added the SuperUser
permissions directly to the pmarino account and logged back out again.
Now when I logged in as pmarino it gave me the access I expected.

Here is the relevant portion of the engine log
