Just to be sure I understand. You have internal users - they are in AD. You have external users - they are in LDAP. You merge two directories and you want to replace this setup with IPA. IPA can trust AD. Formally it is a mutual trust but in reality IPA does not have global catalog support for users in IPA to be able to access the resources in AD. So it is one way trust due to limited functionality. The global catalog support is being worked on. As soon as it is implemented we will add more granularity to the way the trusts are established and thus allow formal one way trusts. It seems that to support your use case you would need to make the external users be IPA users and make AD and IPA trust each other. Also if external users do not authenticate using Kerberos (for example they always use a special portal) then it does not matter what trust is between AD and IPA because those users will not have kerberos tickets that are leveraged in SSO in trust case.
