KB-1022: Getent group <GroupName> only returns a partial list of AD user

Authentication Service ,  

12 April,16 at 11:13 AM

Question:

It is observed that "getent group <GroupName>" returns only a partial list of Active Directory (AD) users.

For example, there are 1,000 AD users in AD group Testgroup. Running "getent group Testgroup" only returns a partial list of users.

bash-3.00# getent group Testgroup
Testgroup:x:1000:jack,mary,apple,amazon,


Answer:

There is a 1024 char buffer limit on some versions of Solaris. Some versions of Solaris, such as Solaris 10, have increased the buffer size to 8096.

The workaround is to set "nss.split.group.membership: false" in /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf and then run adreload.
