Description

Hello,

Since 0.017, and the "Update dependencies" modification, we observe some problem with sync between group-sync and our Keyclock.

Here our Keyclock group definition :

  • group1
    -- group1subgroup1
    -- group1subgroup2
    -- group1subgroup3
  • group2
    -- group2subgroup1
    -- group2subgroup2
    -- group2subgroup3

So before 0.0.17 all group and subgroup was correctly sync in Openshift.
After 0.0.17, only 1 subgroup of each group are update, and it seems to always be the last in hierarchy_children annotation.

Example :
group1's annotation -> hierarchy_children: group1subgroup1,group1subgroup2,group1subgroup3

Only group1subgroup3 is updated.
group1subgroup1, group1subgroup2 and group1 are not anymore.

Research direction

Reproduce the sync with the shown group1/group2 hierarchy and hierarchy_children annotation, comparing behavior before and after 0.0.17. Trace the recursive group synchronization entry point and determine why only the last child is updated. Done means all listed groups and subgroups synchronize into OpenShift as they did before 0.0.17, with a regression test covering multiple children.
