Ok Dmitri, I got it added using what you sent and the following links

and
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2009-August/msg00013.html

I think i'm 90% there with the caveat that I can't seem to see what permissions I need to give a user to view my NIS "view". Right now Directory Manager can see it but that is it.

Any ideas?

You got me :-)
I would defer to specialist in this area to solve this problem.

    Thanks Dimitri, before I get too far this rabbit hole (cause it
    looks a little scary) let me make sure I get it.

    So using Slap-NIS I should be able to create a view into FreeIPA
    that would show only a subset of user based on something like a
    group or an attribute?

    Then using the built in MAC Directory Utility (or any LDAP client)
    I should be able to use that Slap-NIS view as a searchbase and it
    would return just people I wanted.  This could be used keep anyone
    outside that view from logging in?

    I'm sorry for the noob questions but there isn't a lot of good
    documentation on SlapNIS from first glance and I don't want to
    spend 2 days figuring it out if it's not going to work.

    As always extremely appreciated!
    Whitt

        Currently I can only limit users using the searchbase and
        right now it's "cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=DOMAIN,dc=com"

        This works fine unless I wanted to create a user that I
        wanted in LDAP for other purposes but not to login.

        So my questions are,
        A)Can we create different OUs in FreeIPA like most LDAP servers?

        You can use slapi-nis to create an alternative view of the
        tree or trees and point your special client to that tree.
        There you might be able to expose a small subset of users that
        match your special criteria.
        The slapi-nis and compat docs are in the doc folder in the
        corresponding git repo.

        IPA uses compat tree for its own purposes but you can tweak it
        if you need or create a different view.

        HTH



        B)If not anyone have any idea on how I could do this with
        OSX's directory Utility?

        Thanks!
