Chapter 3. Integrating RHEL systems into AD directly with Ansible by using RHEL system roles
With the ad_integration
system role, you can automate a direct integration of a RHEL system with Active Directory (AD) by using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
3.1. The ad_integration
system role
Using the ad_integration
system role, you can directly connect a RHEL system to Active Directory (AD).
The role uses the following components:
- SSSD to interact with the central identity and authentication source
-
realmd
to detect available AD domains and configure the underlying RHEL system services, in this case SSSD, to connect to the selected AD domain
Note
The ad_integration
role is for deployments using direct AD integration without an Identity Management (IdM) environment. For IdM environments, use the ansible-freeipa
roles.
