is understandable as I have pointed all the config files at the child domains DC's,
i.e.
dc1.b.domain.org rather than
dc1.domain.org. I have been searching for example
configurations which will authenticate any user in the forest even though the Linux
installation is joined to a different child domain but not found any.

b.domain.orgusers from
b.domain.org can login to lin1.b.doamin.orgusers from all child
domains of
domain.org can log into
lin1.b.domain.org. for example
a.domain.org,
c.domain.org or
z.domain.org

work for a single domain rather than the whole forest. I suppose I am stuck whether to add
each AD child domain as separate domains in SSSD and REALMS in kerberos or if I can get it
to see the whole forest.

Ah, I see you're referring to slide #11. I think the answer depends on
what your requirements are.
Login with SSSD gives you a TGT. If there is a client side
infrastructure to mount a windows share based on Kerberos
authentication, everything should just work. I think that's what you're
referring to as SSO?
But currently cifs-utils still require winbind for some tasks like modifying
ACLs. Integrating with cifs-utils in order to avoid the winbind dependency
completely is on the roadmap for 1.12 currently (the slides are about a
year old and we shuffled the priorities a bit)
See:

Currently I'm not aware of a plan to rebase to a newer version in
RHEL-6. I would say that backporting individual bugfixes or features is
more likely.
> 2) Are the example configs in
http://www.freeipa.org/images/d/dd/Freeipa30_sssd-ad-provider.pdf still valid in 1.10+ for
an AD provider set-up?
Yes they are. You might also want to take a look at adcli from EPEL.
(and realmd on Fedora and RHEL-7). These make configuring AD client
really simple and user friendly.

Hi ,
Thansk. I have the new VM setup with the ad_provider. Much simpler config!
The authentication for users on the local domain that the installation is joined to works
great. However I am in the same situation with other trusted domains in the forest not
being able to authenticate. Our domain structure is one parent domain which have a number
of sub-domains. Those sub-domains do not have any sub-domains themselves. All users are in
the subdomains. The parent domain only has the odd Admin and service user.
<image of domain structure>
the installation lin1 is joined to
. Users from
can login. Users
from
cannot login. I have tried adding domains
to sssd.conf and realms to krb5.conf but cannot get it to authenticate users from other
child domains.
krb5.conf, sssd.conf and smb.conf attached. Slao attached a portion of the sssd domain log
that occurs when trying an # id c\\user.name.
Thanks,
Matthew
