[Freeipa-users] How to set the home directory for AD users?

We have a trust relationship set up between our IPA domain and our AD domain. When ad AD user logs in to an IPA client, they are given a home directory of /home/<ad-domain>/<username>. I would like to change this to /home/<username>. (I'm not interested in automatically creating the home firectory on login, I just want to change the directory name.) The users are not assigned a home directory in AD, so it's up to IPA to set it.

In the [nss] section of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf, I have 

  homedir_substring = /home

but that doesn't do it. Neither does:

  fallback_homedir = /home/%u

Where can this variable be set?

Thanks,
David Guertin
