True, but does not help with the clients fetching ldap data. I think the cross realm setup is a good idea if one wants to run Windows clients and use SSO together with kerberized services on linux/unix: - the windows clients stay hooked up to an AD, so in a supported environment - from following mailinglists I had the impression Microsoft seems to support the scenario - the linux/unix servers can use the IPA and benefit from proper de- bugging tools, having their server OpenSourced etc. Christian _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
