I did not experience any issues with nested group lookups, which many of the filters rely on. To query a user's nested groups I use this little script (on the DCs): #!/bin/bash if [[ $# -lt 1 ]]; then ??? echo "Usage: $0 <ldap_object>" ??? echo "??? ldap_object?? name of a computer, user or group" ??? exit 1 fi OBJECT=$1 BASE_DN="DC=$(dnsdomainname | sed 's/\./,DC=/g')" # Use UID instead of sAMAccountName because it does not have the $ ending for computer accounts OBJECT_DN="$(ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -b "${BASE_DN}" "(|(CN=${OBJECT})(UID=${OBJECT}))" 2> /dev/null | ??? grep 'dn:' | cut -d ' ' -f 2-)" #echo "Object DN: ${OBJECT_DN}" #echo "Nested group memberships:" ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -b "${BASE_DN}" \ "(&(objectClass=group)(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=${OBJECT_DN}))" cn 2> /dev/null | ??? grep 'cn:' | cut -d ' ' -f 2- | sort And the reverse to get all users in a nested group: #!/bin/bash if [[ $# -lt 1 ]]; then ??? echo "Usage: $0 <ldap_object>" ??? echo "??? ldap_object?? name of group" ??? exit 1 fi OBJECT=$1 BASE_DN="DC=$(dnsdomainname | sed 's/\./,DC=/g')" # Use UID instead of sAMAccountName because it does not have the $ ending for computer accounts OBJECT_DN="$(ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -b "${BASE_DN}" "(|(CN=${OBJECT})(UID=${OBJECT}))" 2> /dev/null | ??? grep 'dn:' | cut -d ' ' -f 2-)" #echo "Object DN: ${OBJECT_DN}" #echo "Nested group memberships:" ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb -b "${BASE_DN}" \ "(&(objectCategory=person)(memberof:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=${OBJECT_DN}))" 2> /dev/null | ??? grep 'cn:' | cut -d ' ' -f 2- | sort And although the script uses ldbsearch locally on the DC, many applications use similar queries over the wire. If it does not show the desired output for you, it may be worth looking at configuration differences, because I had and have no issues whatsoever with this functionality. - Kees.> > Are there any indexes or internal values I could check, to see if I > can debug this any further?

[Samba] LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN no longer working after upgrade?
Thank you Kees. On Mon, 6 Nov 2023 at 09:37, Kees van Vloten via samba <samba at lists.samba.org> wrote:> I am currently running at 4.19.2 but I have run 4.18.6 and 4.18.5.

There is undoubtedly something about my configuration that is different from others; I don't know if it's having members of groups from different OUs across the domain, or perhaps permissions that have been set over the years delegating ownership of different OUs, etc.. but it's interesting that I am seeing different behaviour between ldbsearch and ldapsearch now. (Andrew - I'm wondering if I can script startup of samba in docker containers after restoring from a domain backup, that I could call from git bisect. Do you know if anyone has scripts to do that sort of thing already? It's not impossible for me to create, of course, but it's always better to use an existing working script if there is one. So far, my git bisect calls a script that compiles each samba version and runs ldbsearch, checking for number of results returned; but based on the above findings that's always going to succeed, so I think I will need to switch to ldapsearch instead) Cheers Jonathan
