Hi.

 

I may be missing something here, but why not simply search the RHDS for new entries (i.e. entries which doesn't have the posix attributes set) instead of polling AD? The entries found after such a search are simply added the required posix (and maybe other) attributes, and then the users is good to go.

That might work.  There is some documentation about how to poll Active Directory for changes to entries:
