Hello everyone.

It looks like I have a problem understanding the way AD trusts work. 
Maybe someone here can enlighten me.

In our AD we have "normal" users and groups and we have users/groups
with POSIX attributes. For the latter we want to use FreeIPA to
implement HBAC and Sudo rules.

Last week I installed a FreeIPA server (v4.10.1) and created a oneway
trust to our AD. This has worked so far, I can log on to my (test)
FreeIPA client with my AD user.

My comprehension problem: I can only see AD users and AD groups on the
FreeIPA server and on my test client that have POSIX attributes (uid,
uidNumber, gidNumber) set. To clarify: "getent passwd" and "getent
groups" do not find users and groups that do not have POSIX attributes
and the same applies to "ipa group-add-member".

While this does not matter for the users so far, it is a problem for me
with the groups because I can now only select AD groups with POSIX
attributes when mapping, i.e. "ipa group-add-member <local group>
--external '<AD\Group>'" only works with POSIX groups from the AD.
Why is this a problem? Because I now suddenly see the groups "twice", so
if I make an "id <user>", then I see the original AD group (e.g.
"webserver admins" with the gidNumber from the AD) and additionally the
mapped group from FreeIPA (with its own gid).

The question I have is, does it have to be like this?
Is there no way to select either the already existing AD group directly
in HABC and/or Sudo rules? Or if the mapping has to be to local groups,
to select non-POSIX groups from the AD?


Best regards
Stefan
