Yes, in general this would fix the issue. I'm just wondering if it
wouldn't be easier with respect to coding and management to make
dnaScope a multi-value attribute?

Additionally a fix for IPA master is needed to make trusts work again.
Would it be possible to tweak the filter to skip objects in
cn=provisioning? E.g. do those objects have the ipaObject objectclass?

Sumit
