It is already possible. This is done via group membership. So you create a group in IPA, make AD group an external member of that group and then use that IPA group to apply HBAC, SUDO and SELinux rules. For the interim, this seems to meet the need. Seems to work reliably in tests as long as one keeps a spreadsheet of AD group mappings to IdM user rights. Requires some coordination with the local AD administrator :-) As for RBAC what do you mean? By RBAC, I mean to define linux server user roles with a certain profile of sudo rights, selinux policies and host access rules which one could apply to individual users without grouping them. Although, conceptually it appears that there's little difference in using user groups to represent the same type of container as a role would. However, I suppose the user groups mechanism essentially achieves the same objective. -- Thank you, Dmitri Pal Sr. Engineering Manager IdM portfolio Red Hat, Inc. -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go To http://freeipa.org for more info on the project -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go To http://freeipa.org for more info on the project

With synchronization you see the users to in FreeIPA, but still have to two users to manage - in FreeIPA and AD. With the AD trust the sssd daemon running on FreeIPA is proxying all request from the client sssd directly to AD This is not exactly true. SSSD understands that IPA and AD are in trust relations. If you use user name and password to login SSSD will turn to AD directly without sending password over the wire. If you SSO into the linux box the kerberos library (on you windows client) will do all the ticket acquisition and redirects. The proxy is already done for older clients that does not understand that IPA is in trust relations with AD. http://www.freeipa.org/images/2/2e/FreeIPA33-trust.pdf Sorry, there are two things i did not mention a.) no SSO, b.) Linux Client SSSD requesting UID/GID. a.) if you ssh login from a Windows client that is _not_ joined in AD or a standalone Linux box - so no SSO. Because there the destination Linux clients with sssd (1.9.2 with AD trust compatibilty with ipa provider, or 1.11+ with full AD trust capability) still need SSSD on the FreeIPA Server that will forward the authentication requests to AD. In slide 30 of http://www.freeipa.org/images/2/2e/FreeIPA33-trust.pdf it states: SSSD is used behind the scenes on the FreeIPA server to lookup up users in trusted AD domains SSSD on FreeIPA clients will forward resolution requests to FreeIPA servers through FreeIPA LDAP server plugin b.) If you have a client that is authenticating using Kerberos and therefore SSO, the destination Linux sssd client still needs the sssd client on the FreeIPA server to lookup the UID/GID. So there's the authentication process either with SSO or without SSO, and there's the lookup process for the attributes - am i correct? , so you see no users in FreeIPA, but you have to extend the AD schema using Identity Management for unix. You really have two options: let SSSD to map users dynamically, in this case you do not need AD schema extensions or you can extend schema as suggested. The third option that is under development is described in my other reply. What happens if you have already defined the UID/GID with the schema extension on AD and have legacy Linux clients using them, but you still want to use the exact UID/GID _and_ make use of all the great features offered in FreeIPA such as HBAC, sudorules, etc.? Then only the AD Trust with SSSD 1.11+ with full AD trust feature set is working - correct (because 1.9.2 with ipa provider cannot get the GID from AD)? Also the password policy from the group policy in AD is used when you use the AD trust, but on clients with sssd you can change the password using kpasswd from Kerberos. If you want to use a trust with AD and want to receive the correct GID set in AD then you have to use sssd 1.9.x, otherwise you get a different GID (see https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2014-September/msg00192.html) All other stuff such as HBAC etc. can be centrally managed on FreeIPA, no matter if you use a trust or synchronzation.

Hi! There are two ways that you can use to integrate FreeIPA with AD: a.) trust b.) synchronization Here are the pros/cons for both of them: http://www.freeipa.org/docs/master/html-desktop/index.html#trust-sync If you want to manage POSIX attributes for each user can do that with either identity management for Unix at AD using the trust, or with the synchronzation at FreeIPA.
