[Fedora-directory-users] AD synchronization questions

[Ivan Ruskov]

Hi,

 

I have a couple of windows users and I would like them to be available in
Linux. The FDS has a great feature which is the Active Directory
synchronization. I read attentively the documentation and searched the
source code but I did not find answers to my questions so I post them here.

 

For a user to be available in Linux she has to have a valid uid number. How
is the field uidNumber populated during inbound synchronization? (same for
the user's home directory)

 

When the windows users are organized in a tree of OUs do I have to create
the containers in FDS manually or are they created automatically by the
synchronization plug-in? (the FDS documentation mentions something about
this but it wasn't very clear to me)

 

 

Thanks.
