[ovirt-users] ovirt with 389 server inactive groups

I found why the group_ids field is wrong

If you look at the ad_groups table then mane for the group is "<domain
here>/Groups/sysadmin" however if you look at the groups field in the
users table it says "<domain here>/groups/sysadmin"
I tried updating the name field in the ad_groups table to match
"<domain here>/groups/sysadmin" then removed and added a user now the
if for that group in the group_ids field is being set correctly.

This is at least a usable workaround for now. now we need to find the
root cause.
