V3/Filtering groups by type
Overview
There is no method how to filter groups by type. Group type is basically a variation of object classes. Prerequisite for #3333.
Use Cases
- Web UI ticket #3333 needs this functionality in order to offer a combobox with only posix groups for setting Default Fallback Group in Trust config.
- CLI user can use it for getting only POSIX groups, external groups and non-POSIX groups.
Design
There are three types of public groups: non-POSIX, POSIX and external. Private groups are considered a special case and are not part of this design.
- POSIX group is a group with object class posixGroup
- external group is a group with object class ipaExternalGroup
- non-POSIX group is a group which is not posix nor external: it doesn't have posixGroup nor ipaExternalGroup object class.
New flags were added to group find command:
- --posix
- --nonposix
- --external
When a flag is set, filtering is done according to mapping described above.
Implementation
No additional requirements or changes were discovered during the implementation phase.
Feature Management
