Hello FDS users -

I am learning as I go here so please excuse my ignorance.   I have scoured
over the Fedora and Redhat docs for Directory Server and read many threads
from this list archive concerning Active Directory sync.  I'm having
trouble putting all the pieces together and would greatly appreciate some
guidance from people that have already gone through this process :)

I am in the process of migrating from NIS to LDAP.  In our environment we
run both Windows and Linux systems.  For quite awhile we have been
maintaining both NIS and Active Directory.  Our goal is to move away from
NIS and achieve single sign on for our users.  I have installed and
configured FDS, converted and imported our NIS maps as ldif.  This worked
beautifully.

Can I create a sync agreement that only sends passwords from AD->FDS,
nothing else and no updates from FDS->AD?
I would like to configure our Linux clients to authenticate to AD with
kerberos and use FDS as the LDAP server.  I understand we need to install
the password sync utility on one of our DC's and that when a user changes
their password in AD the utility will capture it in plaintext and send to
FDS.  I also see that FDS and the pass sync have to be configured to share
certificates for the SSL connection between them.

Can the sync utility be restricted to one OU within AD?  What access within
AD is required for the utility to run?  Domain Admin rights or can specific
rights be delegated?

I would really appreciate some steps for: configuring SSL on the AD and FDS
side.  Creating and testing the sync agreement.

Thank you so much for the help!!
