[Freeipa-users] Certificate Authorities requirement for Cross realm trust?

2014-12-16 Thread Genadi Postrilko
In the Windows Integration guide the need for CA is mentioned.

Both Active Directory and Identity Management must be configured with
integrated certificate services.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Windows_Integration_Guide/index.html#trust-requirements

I cannot install CA-less IPA if i want to create a Cross realm trust? If
so, why?
As far as i understand the Trust is Kerberos based.

Thank you for the feedback. You are correct, CAs are not needed to
create trust. I guess the CA requirement (at least on the Windows side)
came form a time where we might wanted to look up some data in AD which
required an authenticated connection and we only wanted to use
LDAPS/StartTLS for this.

There is ongoing work to improve the Windows Integration Guide, I added
a note so that you comment won't get lost.

bye,
Sumit
