    How to align a user account (< 9 characters long) to a specific AD domain?

    Posted on

    How can I align a user John.Doe to one AD Domain, and user Jane.Doe to another AD Domain in the same forest?

    Have tried using the winbind separator ex: domain1+jdoe, but long Domain names and long user names get messy.

    Authenticating john.doe@domain1.forest.net from jane.doe@domain2.forest.net with previously setup UID and GID is the challenge.
    Dont want auto-created accounts.... just the password authentication to non-cached (if possible).

    In short, can I map:
    jdoe1 to john.doe@domain1.forest.net
    jdoe2 to jane.doe@domain2.forest.net

    Ideally, one would login as jdoe1, but it might also be acceptable to login with the UPN (john.doe@domain1.forest.net), provided that the short name (jdoe1) would appear in system output like 'ps -ef ".

    Thanks for your thoughts.
