Since I have most users on Windows clients, I will have to consider 
implementing AD and join Linux servers in.

Any thought on that?

I think the best would be to read my blogs.

[Freeipa-users] freeIPA function basics from user's perspective

2015-03-10 Thread Robert Erzen
Hi all,

I'm new to freeIPA and I'm researching how freeIPA bassically work. How
does this looks like from the perspective of the end user.
Can you please confirm or correct my knowledge about freeIPA functioning.

Let assume we have a mixed environment of five freeIPA servers which are
gatheredint one domain.
Then we have additional ten Linux servers which are aded to realm as Linux
hosts.
Then we have also five Windows servers, which are connected into Active
directory.
Trust relationship between freeIPA and AD is established.
When Windows user log into AD, he gets authenticated by AD and gain access
to assets in AD as well in freeIPA.  Is this correct?
How does things go with a Linux user? Will I be able to join his Ubuntu
user name and password to freeIPA?
Will he authenticate with freeIPA every time, he will log into his Ubuntu?

Thanx

Linux users are managed by IPA. SSSD will know based on the fully 
qualified name of the user (or short name which will be assumed to be an 
IPA user name in default configuration) that the user needs to be 
authenticated against IPA.



Will he authenticate with freeIPA every time, he will log into his Ubuntu?


Yes.
And policies defined in IPA will apply.
All this assumes you have a relatively recent SSSD version on Ubuntu you 
plan to use.


There is a solution for legacy clients too. See more details on the wiki 
on the documentation page (search for the word legacy on the page).


Thanx
