Re: [389-users] Using Active Directory's SUA/SFU extensions in a Directory Server <==> AD setup

[Kenneth Holter]

I see. Thanks for the response.

Do you know if it's possible to make use of the AD groups that are synced
over to RHDS directly though, disregarding posix attributes that are not
synced over? I mean, is it possible to get nss_ldap to work with the groups
synced over from AD, without having to "convert" the groups to posix groups
first?
