Hi, All

Off the bat I would like to say being new to freeIPA and rolling out
successful deployment to manage our servers has been amazing, very few
hiccups.

Which brings me to my next question, I have been asked if FreeIPA can
be uses with Samba4 as a Domain Controller in our environment. After
much reading its not as simple as it might sound.

In saying that, my question is simple.

How or what would be the best way to keep the AD users and FreeIPA
users in sync. All I am really looking for is to Auth Users on the new
Samba4 AD server. Can this be done or not.
It currently cannot be done. Requires functionality not available in
FreeIPA.


Yeah thats what I thought, just need to confirm.

What would you suggest the best way to dump users from ldap and the
populate samba with users and random passwords? I understand this is
out of scope of freeIPA.
You can use Python bindings to IPA to generate list of user entries in python and
then feed some properties of that to samba-tool.

Something like this, using ipa console to simplify use of the API:

# ipa console
(Custom IPA interactive Python console)
  api: IPA API object
  pp: pretty printer
result = api.Command.user_find(all=True, raw=True)['result']
len(result)
7
pp(result)
