Hi, Yes.....In hindsight its pretty obvious when you have a new product connecting to another complex product in a "foreign way" in a enterprise / complex environment that some shake-out is going to happen. I guess I didnt know what I didnt know and I got accelerated in deploying IPA faster and further than I'd said was what I wanted....hence some Dragons...(quite like that)....
The only issue Ive had really is the speed of solving, not the solving....but RH support has definitely stepped up to the plate and is now significantly better, huge learning curve. Hopefully my successors will have that benefit. regards Steven Jones Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE Victoria University, Wellington, NZ 0064 4 463 6272 ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Dmitri Pal [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 6 November 2012 12:55 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] FreeIPA v 2.2 in an AD environment On 11/05/2012 02:01 PM, Steven Jones wrote: > corner case? > > as in not very standard? > > In which case, yes I suppose so.

Dragons, yes my armour is definately a bit runny.... Steven, let me put this way: you were unlucky to be the first to produce the configuration we never seen before (AD sync is a part of DS for ages). Things evolve on the AD side and we are not the first to know or experience new changes and configurations that AD adds. AD in fact big and complex. I am sorry about what you have been through but we unfortunately did not anticipate the scenarios and configuration that you presented. For us they were the corner cases at the moment. Now they are not since you hit them, we learned the details of those issues and addressed them. > regards > > Steven Jones > > Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE > > Victoria University, Wellington, NZ > > 0064 4 463 6272 > > 8><---------- > >> Sync: available starting the beginning of the IPA life.
