It seems that the script specified by user_map_cmd is not being invoked. It creates syslog entries and none are present We see error message like Error – failed to map user (edsills@ncsu.edu) Even though when running script from command line this string does map correctly: /opt/ood/ood_auth_map/…

:man_facepalming: well that’s it. It’s URL escaping it. so jeff@localhost is mapped to jeff%40localhost.

Issue using user_map_cmd

yes that seems to be the case. Thank you!

Maybe the documentation should reflect this? The example provided there also does not work as written.
