With a trust between IPA and Active Directory, only AD users with UNIX attributes have uid numbers in RHEL.
Issue
- The documentation doesn't seem to outline the process for how UIDs for AD users is handled in a trust configuration. I was expecting SIDs to be converted to UIDs but I don't see this in the documentation.
- After I created the external group for AD users and added that group to a POSIX group, the client systems still cannot see some of the users. I am following the steps outlined in the Windows Integration Guide. The client systems can only see users with UNIX attributes. Is there a way I can disable this?
- I want all users to have IDs generated off SIDs by IPA but there are other platforms that leverage UNIX attributes in AD so I can't remove this on the AD side. Is there a way to configure IPA to generate UIDs based on SID for all accounts regardless? Like some type of manual overwrite?
