Simple Forest too.

Summary.
RHEL 6 and 7. Plus AWS.
I already wrote the scripts to convert user IDs to match. ( our
/etc/opt/quest/vas/mapfile had jdoe mapped to jdoeXX
We are limiting for the most part, the above conversion to only entries in
the mapfile. This would exclude App IDs, and Slervice Account IDs.
Unfortunately, the scenario I've run across, is that I only limit the
users and not the Service Accounts to login via *realm permit* and
inappropriate *su - App_ID" can create it if *getent passwd App_ID* works.
I've tried encouraging that local accounts not have AD names, but that
seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
I would like to create these IDs locally with UID:GID etc... that I
specify but I'm having issues when SSSD is running. It appears that
setting up a [domain/local] might be the key, along with sss_useradd? But
I would like the ID to be created in /etc/passwd as well if possible. We
are discussing a 2500 Linux Server environment.
Thanks!
