Over the past month, I rearranged my local systems for our collaboration environment. The essence of the work is to combine employee identities (defined in AD) with identities for external users (defined in FreeIPA), massage them so that they look the same, and export them to every posix desktop and web application I support.

 

Defining cross-domain posix groups is included, and was successfully performed, but sssd doesn’t have a vocabulary to describe a merged domain (one identity provider, multiple auth providers). Still trying to figure out if I can force this to work somehow.

 

The activity may shine a light on some of the things “views” might be required to do.

Enjoy,
