Situation
When running 'id' against a LUM-enabled
user, if you use a different case from the one in eDirectory,'id' will bring only
the user's primary group information and no other group
membership.
Example: assume user test
is member of the groups users
and www,
users being his primary group.
Executing 'id test' will give the
following result:
uid=600(test) gid=600(test) groups=600(users),8(www)
Executing 'id Test' (note the
uppercase first "T")
will give the following result:
uid=600(test) gid=600(test)
groups=600(users)
Resolution
When using id with LUM-enabled users, you need to specify the username with the same case it has on eDirectory for it to work properly. This occurs due to the way LDAP handles casing.
