beatzaplentyandClaude Sonnet 4.6 720399b00d fix(docker): declaratively apply groupmod --non-unique for IPA GID conflict
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m33s
NixOS's group activation uses plain groupmod, which silently skips the
GID change when SSSD exposes the same GID (50010) via the IPA
docker-access group through NSS.  Add an activation script that runs
after the normal 'groups' step and applies groupmod --non-unique so the
local docker group can share GID 50010 with the SSSD-provided IPA group.
If the GID actually changes on a live system the script also restarts
docker.socket + docker.service so the socket is recreated with the new
GID.

beatzaplentyandClaude Sonnet 4.6 fc8f7baf3e fix(ipa): restore IPA password login via LightDM and su
Check NixOS configurations / eval-hosts (pull_request) Successful in 10m33s
Two independent fixes:

1. hashedPassword = "!" on the IPA user stub
   Without any shadow entry, pam_unix returns PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL
   before prompting, so PAM_AUTHTOK is never set. The "!" marker
   (account locked, not a real hash) ensures a shadow entry exists so
   pam_unix prompts and sets PAM_AUTHTOK — which the subsequent
   pam_sss module can then use.

2. pam_sss try_first_pass instead of use_first_pass (login + su)
   use_first_pass silently fails when PAM_AUTHTOK is unset.
   try_first_pass prompts independently in that case, making IPA
   password auth work even if pam_unix returns early for any reason.

Root cause found during incident: wayne (uid 50002) was outside IPA's
auto-SID range (163800000+), so sidgen never assigned him an
ipaNTSecurityIdentifier. Without it, ipadb's handle_authdata step fails
with "Generic error" after SPAKE pre-auth succeeds. Fixed by manually
adding objectClass: ipaNTUserAttrs + ipaNTSecurityIdentifier RID 550002
to wayne's LDAP entry on domain-controller. Any future IPA user with a
manually-assigned uid outside the auto-range needs the same treatment.
