So!

New question, hopefully someone out there will know the answer:
I have a posix group located in LDAP ala:

cn=groupname,ou=LAB,dc=domain,dc=ca

Which contains a memberUid attribute with several uid values.

I am attempting to get sssd to associate these uids in the group with
the uid upon login.  So far I am unsuccessful (id only returns the gid
in the user account)

Users are located in
ou=people,dc=domain,dc=ca
and they have a number of different objectClasses, one of which is
posixAccount

Any ideas?  I am going to ask this on the SSSD-devel list too but I
figured everyone here is so knowledgeable and nice, there might be a
kind person who has this knowledge already and might help me :)

-Chris
