Mapping Ad account to Local Linux Group with Centrify Express on CentOS 6

Step 1. In order to add the AD User to the local User Group

adduser command is not nsswitch aware and do not recognize a user not locally defined when adding someone to a group.

# vim /etc/group

. . users:x:100:user1,user2

Step 2: Edit /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf

Edit /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf, uncomment and change the following parameter to true

# Merge local group membership from /etc/group into the Centrify group # response for groups with the same name and gid. This violates the NSS # interface behavior and may have unexpected side effects, so it is # disabled by default. You must run adreload to detect changes # in the local group file. # adclient.local.group.merge:true

Step 3: Centrify Load and Flush

# adreload && adflush

Step 4: Check and verify.

$ id -a uid=. gid=. 100(users) .
