Hello,

When adding the AD trust using 'ipa-ad-trust-posix' range type then IPA will search AD for the ID space of existing POSIX attributes to automatically create a suitable ID range inside IPA.

You can check the exact steps and attributes searched by looking at the add_range function definition in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/plugins/trust.py

I would suggest reviewing the output of 'ipa idrange-find' to confirm that the range matches up with the uid and gidNumbers of your AD environment.

Kind regards,
Justin Stephenson

Hi,

I am still fighting with storing user's POSIX attributes in AD. Please can anybody provide some simple reference settings of IPA-AD trust where users are able to get uid from AD - not from IPA ID pool ?

I have tried to set values of attributes before and after creating trust, I have tried different sssd setting but I'm still getting uid from IPA idrange pool instead of from AD user's attribute.

What exactly is IPA checking when it tries to decide what type of trust will be set - ['ipa-ad-trust-posix', 'ipa-ad-trust'] ?

Do I have to mandatory fill some AD user's attributes to get it work ? Currently I'am testing just with uidNumber and gidNumber.

There is almost no documentation about this topic so I don't know what else I can try ...

Thanks for help,

Jan

Did you add the POSIX attributes to AD after creating the trust maybe?

This has no effect, in IPA-AD trust scenario, the id mapping properties
are managed on the server.

I think idviews are better for overriding POSIX attributes for a
specific set of hosts, but in your environment, it sounds like you want
to use the POSIX attributes across the board.

Yes

Homedir is a bit special, for backwards compatibility the
subdomains_homedir takes precedence. The others should be read from AD.

I don't have the environment set at the moment, though, so I'm operating
purely from memory.
