While you can make it sort of work, it will be a lot more difficulty, and will never work quite how you want. You would be better off using Active Directory or Samba4, and creating trusts between the two domains.

Indeed, some users tell me that it's possible to join an IPA domain from a windows workstation and you say this is not possible. I don't have an AD server, I want to configure IPA to act like an AD. My network contains Windows/Linux workstations and I want to centrally manage authentications.

IPA does not support Windows systems to be joined to IPA domain. But you can configure kerberos for Windows and use local Windows accounts. There are some HowTos on the wiki about it. Alternatively you join Linux systems to AD and use it as your central authentication server then SSO would also work but you will loose ability to manage your Linux related policies. Trusts is probably the best for you but there will be dragons. http://freeipa.org/page/Howto/IPAv3_AD_trust_setup > Regards, > > > >> ----- Message d'origine ----- >> >> De : Dale Macartney >> >> Envoyés : 22.01.13 23:13 >> >> À : freeipa-users@redhat.com >> >> Objet : Re: [Freeipa-users] Some interrogations about the freeipa deployment >> >> >> On 01/22/2013 09:51 PM, Steven Jones wrote: > Hi, > I have all done this, so from what you write I think IPA would be a good fit > for what you want, except that is the single sign on bit I have not looked to > see if that can be done.

So do the usual service sshd restart. > I would also not run one instance of IPA myself but with such a small site > that's your call. > regards > Steven Jones > Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE > Victoria University, Wellington, NZ > 0064 4 463 6272 > ------------------------- > *From:* freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com [freeipa-users-boun...@redhat.com] > on behalf of Bob Sauvage [bob.sauv...@gmx.fr] > *Sent:* Wednesday, 23 January 2013 9:51 a.m. > *To:* freeipa-users@redhat.com > *Subject:* [Freeipa-users] Some interrogations about the freeipa deployment > Hi *, > I plan to review the network architecture of my office. 10 Windows/Linux > desktops and 2 Linux servers will be deployed on the network. > I want to install freeipa on the first server to act like an AD DS.
