 Hi

 I'm testing MS AD integration, following document contents
 http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/FreeIPA_Guide/managing-sync-agmt.html

 For 8.4.2. (Creating Synchronization Agreements) we've got --passsync
 secretpwd, but nowhere's said if user has to be created on MS AD
 side, or if any package has to be installed.

It is implied that this is the password of the administrative user that
you already have on the AD side.

 How to continue?

 Best regards,
 George Machitidze

Nope, the password provided with that switch is used to create a special
sysaccount user named 'passsync' in IPA.
the DN of the user is: uid=passsync,cn=sysaccount,cn=etc,$suffix

This user is used by the Windows Passsync plugin installed on AD domain
controllers. So this password is what you need to use when configuring
the Passync plugin together with the above dn template.

Simo.

  Simo.
 
 Then we should update our docs.

Yes we should clarify our manpage by making it say:
Password for the IPA system user used by the Windows Passync plugin to
synchronize passwords

Simo.
