Description

I have two rules assigning different users to a certain node.

The one sets up a non-privileged (in theory) account, and the other sets up two admin users.
They have their home directories set to a path outside /home.

An ncf technique will also set up symlinks to there from /home.

The result is that, it works for one of them.

In the above, the directory "admpaulo" should not be there, instead it should be in /data/admins.
I'm pretty sure the "user home dir" setting is lost for this user.

Hello florian!

I see here:

homelinks_adm;;file_create_symlink_/home/floadm;;7b5e11f3-0836-45b4-9c2e-bf9b92a0c228@11c7cbf3-eb93-4555-b4cf-c3e5f1d6db70@6;;Create symlink (force overwrite);;/home/floadm
homelinks_adm;;file_create_symlink_/home/pauloadm;;7b5e11f3-0836-45b4-9c2e-bf9b92a0c228@11c7cbf3-eb93-4555-b4cf-c3e5f1d6db70@6;;Create symlink (force overwrite);;/home/pauloadm

You create /home/floadm and /home/pauloadm, but the users are:

    "usergroup_user_login[1]" string => "admflo";
    "usergroup_user_login[2]" string => "admpaulo";

Is that intended?

Also:

    "usergroup_user_home_perso[1]" string => "false";
    "usergroup_user_home_perso[2]" string => "true";
    "usergroup_user_home_perso[3]" string => "true";

    "usergroup_user_home[1]" string => "/data/admins/flo";
    "usergroup_user_home[2]" string => "/data/admins/paulo";
    "usergroup_user_home[3]" string => "";

The definition of user_home_perso is:

        <NAME>USERGROUP_USER_HOME_PERSONNALIZE</NAME>
        <DESCRIPTION>Use the default home directory</DESCRIPTION>

Which means you specify that you want admflo (1, "false") to use a user-defined home directory (/data/admins/flo), but admpaulo's (2) setting is "true" which means "Use the default user directory".

It looks like you forgot to tick the option to use a personnalized home directory for admpaulo by mistake :)

Can you tell me if this is the problem ?

Thanks in advance.
