Re: [SSSD-users] Use SSSD as a 'proxy'

[Gerardo Padierna]

Hi Eric,

I think I'm trying to achieve the same thing, and I actually asked a 
similar question some time ago myself here 
(https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/sssd-users/2014-August/002099.html 
).
The answer was: Take a look at FreeIPA server project.
I did, but I couldn't get it to work because the setup, as for now, 
requires a two-way domain trust between AD and the IPA server/domain 
(apart from CentOS >= 7.0 for the FreeIPA server). And so far, I 
couldn't convince the neither the AD admins, nor my manager, boss, 
blablabla to allow that....
Maybe it's a solution for you, though.

BTW, there've been some interesting questions in the same direction in 
the corresponding FreeIPA user mailing list. like this thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2014-September/msg00276.html

Good luck!
