[Freeipa-users] ipa sync agreement to AD DC is taking a very long time

[janice.psyop]

Ah, well that makes sense then!

I couldn't understand why the freeipa.org doc
(http://www.freeipa.org/page/Howto/IPAv3_AD_trust_setup)  ends at at
cross realm trust -- plus everything was working fine at that point,
but I thought the FC18 docs had further instructions for sync agreements --> it
was ID10T error on my part! -- just blindly clicking "next"...

So I'm just going to "disconnect" and delete the agreement and
certs.....  Actually, I may just start from scratch.  It was easy
enough to do up until the point I mixed up the instructions.

thanks very much clearing up my misunderstanding / pointing out the obvious!!!

And thanks for the link -- probably should watch that first....  LOL.
