Chapter 8. Using realmd to Connect to an Identity Domain

The realmd system provides a clear and simple way to discover and join identity domains. It does not connect to the domain itself but configures underlying Linux system services, such as SSSD or Winbind, to connect to the domain.

The Windows Integration Guide describes using realmd to connect to a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) domain. The same procedures apply to using realmd to connect to non-AD identity domains. See Using realmd to Connect to an Active Directory Domain in the Windows Integration Guide.
