The key here is that for IPA and AD to be able to work together in a trust, they need to be in separate domains with realm matching this domains. In your case, it seems to me that a following scenario would work the best: * AD with domain zone.corp and realm ZONE.CORP * IPA with domain ipa.zone.corp and realm IPA.ZONE.CORP Ideally, IPA should have DNS installed and have the ipa.zone.corp delegated from the AD DNS (or other DNS you use).
