IPA is based on the 389 LDAP server not OpenLDAP
Ok.
2)
SSSD does not provide front end to Samba/Winbind it just has
similar functionality. In future we might reuse more of the
samba libraries. Currently we use some samba libraries in SSSD
but more as building blocks for the solution than the back end
that connects to AD.
I see.

There is a project called reamld, this project would perform AD
join of SSSD in the Linux environment. It will replace the need
for your sss_adjoin script
Thanks for the info. Unfortunately this project did not find its
way into RHEL 6 so we can not use it. But I will mention it on my
presentation

Can you please elaborate a bit on the tools? Which tools
Centrify has that would be useful for SSSD to have? Can you file
tickets with those?
The tools we would welcome the most would be:
adflush - flush all databases, force reload all data from
ldap servers. Right now I have to stop sssd, delete all ldb files
and start sssd again - this is a bit cruel.
There is a cache management utility now. Have you looked at it? Is
there any functionality missing there?
adinfo
- tell the user is there is some working connection to any ldap
server or whether we are running completely in the disconnected
mode. Right now I have to dig through the logs to find out.
I think both have been discussed here, but the idea was eventually
abandoned by the sssd developers
Yes I agree having a way to dump current status of the SSSD
responders and providers would be a nice to have. But it is not
quite simple.
I think we have a ticket for this.
See some thoughts that Stephen recorded there:

In addition to direct automounter support in SSSD there is also
direct sudo support, management of the SSH keys and SELinux user
mapping integration coming at the same time.
I will mention that.

I do not think you emphasize the value of IPA.
True. This was on purpose because my main objective is get
something we already have (Centrify) cheaper & better. I
understand that using IPA would give us further benefits, but this
is out of my current scope.
Also you mentioned DNS sites, https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1032
Is it required or the notion of the primary and secondary
servers that was added in 1.9 sufficiently addresses the issue?
This ticket was actually created by me and I see that the solution
for this one has been deferred
:-( .
Primary & secondary servers support in 1.9 will not help us as
we need a true sites support as per the ticket above. I believe it
would be useful for large IPA domains, too.
I see.
Can you please add a comment to the ticket explaining why the
preferred server support is not sufficient and the support of sites
is required.
Many thanks
Ondrej
