Sure Rob, we'll put something together and send it to you for publishing.
Give us a few days. We'll also sanitize our enrollment package and share it
w/ you too. This is what we use to enroll our Macs, a one time install that
does what ipa-client-install does for Linux, including these LDAP mappings.
We love FreeIPA and will be really happy if this helps any other users with
Mac fleets.
