[Freeipa-users] Problem FreeIPA 4.1.3 for vCenter 5.5u2b SSO

[Martin Kosek]

I am glad you have it working. However, I would like to discourage from this 
another method as this way, you would need to maintain uniqueMember attribute 
yourself. FreeIPA only maintains the "member" attribute.

I would recommend using the Gianluca's method in
http://www.freeipa.org/page/HowTo/vsphere5_integration

with taking users and groups from compat tree. This way, you will have 
uniqueMember populated when you do changes to the group using FreeIPA CLI or UI.

If it was not working for you in the past, note that we identified a change 
today that needs to be done with FreeIPA 4.0+:
