What's Changed

NSS and Group Resolution

  • Added initgroups_dyn support for nss_himmelblau, allowing glibc to fetch supplementary groups for a specific user directly instead of enumerating all Entra ID groups.
  • Improved login and session startup performance for users with many group memberships, especially in flows such as GDM session setup where group initialization is required.
  • Added a targeted daemon request for NSS initgroups lookups, returning only the relevant GID list from the cached user token.

Reliability

  • Fixed a systemd startup deadlock where NSS or PAM could call back into himmelblaud while systemd was still launching himmelblaud.service or himmelblaud-tasks.service.
  • NSS and PAM now detect Himmelblau service activation through SYSTEMD_ACTIVATION_UNIT and return immediately instead of attempting daemon socket communication during service startup.
  • This improves boot and service recovery behavior on systems where Himmelblau is present in nsswitch.conf or the PAM stack.

PAM and Authentication Integration

  • Adjusted PAM package installation behavior so automatic PAM configuration is only applied during the initial install, avoiding resets of administrator-managed PAM, authselect, or pam-config state during upgrades.
  • Improved RPM post-install handling for authselect, pam-config, and fallback aad-tool configure-pam flows so only one successful configuration path is applied.
  • Preserved existing GDM keyring token handling so graphical logins can continue passing the authenticated secret to the keyring where applicable.

SELinux

  • Updated SELinux policy to allow unconfined_service_t to search himmelblaud_t directories.
  • This resolves access denials for unconfined services that need to interact with Himmelblau-managed runtime paths.

Packaging / Build / CI

  • Bumped the workspace and package versions from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3.
  • Updated RPM packaging scripts for safer PAM configuration behavior on install versus upgrade.

Documentation

  • No documentation changes were included in this release.
