Fantastic, thanks so much. Will test ASAP on my end. Thanks confirming
that this is possible!

Yes, it is possible to do so. It will require you to turn on the
compatibility tree and point to do that dn. More than likely you'll
need to run `ipa-adtrust-install --enable-compat` on all IPA servers
that are trust controllers/agents. Once you do so, you'll get a
cn=compat,... you can use.
Users: cn=users,cn=compat,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=com
Groups: cn=groups,cn=compat,dc=ipa,dc=example,dc=com
What will happen is all IPA users and groups typically show up
immediately. But the AD users/groups will not until there is a query
for them (eg ldapsearch or bind attempt), which should be sufficient.
In my previous cases of using the compat tree, it was for Solaris,
FreeBSD, and RHEL 5, and I didn't run into too many issues.

Dumb question ...
For use cases (temporary/ephemeral/auto-scaling servers) where we
can't do a full ipa-client-install on a managed node is it possible to
use the LDAP service on FreeIPA to check a username and password for
an AD-trust user?
I've been fooling around with making AWS Parallelcluster nodes LDAP
clients of a FreeIPA environment and it actually works really well
with users and groups that are local to FreeIPA; it's quite a nice
solution actually and solves a consistency problem for some users and
groups we need to persist as HPC grids are launched and destroyed.
Was wondering idly if the LDAP service extended to being able to
authenticate a user that exists within an AD-trust. It does not seem
to work out of the box but I was wondering if a change of the LDAP
bind DN or other settings would allow this to work?
Wanted to ask if this was even possible before I spent more time
working on my ldap configs!

Chris
