If you use SSSD's 'ldap_id_mapping = false' then SSSD will read the UIDs and GIDs from AD as does idmap_ad. With 'ldap_id_mapping = true' then SSSD uses a similar scheme as Samba's idmap_rid or idmap_autorid. But in general the starting point for the mapping would be different so that it would no be easy to get the same mapping with those. > > > > > Besides the idmap configuration in smb.conf you have to make sure that > > the system is joined the AD with the 'net ads join' command which is > > also used by realmd in the default RHEL/CentOS settings.

Yes, but the devil is in the details, with current versions of Samba 'net changesecretpw' which is used by adcli (and e.g. by msktutil as well) does not work properly with an empty secrets.tdb. There is a workaround but for the time being 'net ads join' would be more reliable. > > > > > If you have SSSD's version of libwbclient installed please remove the > > sssd-libwbclient package and install Samba's libwbclient package if it > > is missing (but I guess it is already present as a dependency of > > winbind). > > Is SSSD's wbclient obsolete or just not finished yet? I would say it becomes obsolete for more and more use-cases. There were always limitations like no NTLM auth, no access with IP addresses, ... To add what is missing would require to implement the communication to various AD RPC services which we never planned. To do this you either have to implement it from scratch which would be a more than major effort or use all the related Samba libraries which are already the core of winbind. So letting Samba's smbd use winbind directly looks more straight forward and reliable. bye, Sumit > > > > > There is also a nice summary by Erinn earlier on this list > > https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.fedoraproject.org%2Farchives%2Flist%2Fsssd-users%40lists.fedorahosted.org%2Fmessage%2FHSOPA6J7AKUFHPLM2MA6T3P3SJN7TFNW%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cjoakim.tjernlund%40infinera.com%7C4f53e5c3fceb44e20aa508d677bdc6c1%7C285643de5f5b4b03a1530ae2dc8aaf77%7C1%7C0%7C636828054310018393&sdata=RGNMqIOn9%2BkzPBMWzhoUDQGp4zmERL6cnFpYWcAomLM%3D&reserved=0 > > which describes some current pitfalls.
