How to configure "shortnames" in IPA
Issue
IPA supports user & group resolution and user authentication in all domains to be possible by using only the short names without the domain component.
For example, admin instead of admin@linux.mylab.local or administrator instead of
administrator@windows.mylab.local
Environment
- IPA in a trust relationship with an AD forest
- IPA 4.x
