Ethel,

Also be careful with sssd and one-way trusts.

We find that sssd discovers and reports *ALL* one-way trusts, even ones
that go the wrong way.    That is, in our company there's a lot of test and
lab AD domains that trust the main domain -- but the main AD domain doesn't
trust these "cowboy" AD domains.  (and rightly so.)

As a consequence, we have to put the following line in our sssd.conf file:

ad_enabled_domains = amer.company.com, apac.company.com, emea.company.com,
japn.company.com company.com


That line is basically saying -- "I don't care what yahoo AD domains you
discover -- only deal with these specific AD domains."

And then later in the domain section, we'll put in a
domain_resolution_order line.  In order to tell sssd in which order to
search these AD domains (for users and groups).

Spike.
