How to configure "shortnames" in IPA

Solution Verified - Updated -

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
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
