Hi all,

First I'd like to say thank you for the fantastic product. We've been 
using FreeIPA since v 1 and it's been fantastic.

Recently we've hit a slight snag, however. We used this document 
(https://www.freeipa.org/page/Windows_authentication_against_FreeIPA) to 
setup Windows to use FreeIPA for it's back end authentication. This 
works really well and we are really happy with it.

To integrate a CIFS server with FreeIPA we ran 'ipa-adtrust-install' on 
our FreeIPA servers, this added several attributes to every user as 
expected. However, now when users try to log on to a Windows machine 
with their FreeIPA credentials  they can log on but they are no longer 
in any Windows groups (Administrators or Remote Desktop Users in this 
case). This was working before running ipa-adtrust-install.

If you remove the following attributes from the user Windows works again 
but samba no longer does:

objectclass=ipantuserattrs
ipantsecurityidentifier=<SID>

I've been banging my head against the wall on this for a while, and 
can't seem to get everything to mesh. Can anyone make any recommendations?

Best,
Zach
