[Freeipa-users] RHEL6 IPA and Active Directory synchronisation and Solaris RBAC

[Dag Wieers]

Hi,

We are investigating whether IPA is an acceptable solution for our 
environment. One of the aspects that is not clear (from reading the 
documentation and testing it without AD) is whether the synchronization 
with AD can be limited to a subset.


Since we would like to only synchronize certain user-accounts (conforming 
to a specific format) from AD unidirectionally, and we also want to manage 
functional/technical accounts on IPA, we need to make sure that we:

  - can filter the stuff we pull from AD
  - can avoid the synchronisation to remove other accounts managed in IPA

Can someone confirm that this is possible ? Is there any indepth 
information on how this AD sycnhronization works (preferably about RHEL6 
IPA) ?


Also since we also require compatibility with Solaris, and roles (RBAC) is 
currently used on Solaris, does IPA support RBAC on Solaris ? (We noticed 
that RBAC mentioned in the IPA web interface only relates to IPA 
management).


Thanks in advance,
