from BZ

"While we value your interest in IPA Solaris support, the implementation of
the DUA profile is not on our nearest schedule at the moment. We lack both
knowledge and resources to focus on integration with Solaris. This is where
we need a help (ideally patches) and contribution from the community to
help us push these features in.

I checked your example DUAConfigProfile and I think it cannot be just
added to FreeIPA right away. E.g. for defaultServerList or
preferredServerList, you would need to expand installers and
ipa-replica-manage to handle these lists and update them when replica
is added or updated to prevent it being outdated. printers or aliases
serviceSearchDescriptor refers to objects not being available and so
on. It is not as straightforward as it seems.

What I think that we can work on is to work together
onhttp://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/FreeIPA_Guide/Configuring_an_IPA_Client_on_Solaris.html#Configuring_an_IPA_Client_on_Solaris_10
... and add all the steps needed to make IPA work on Solaris 10. I
could for example prepare an updated page and you could review it.
Would that work for you?"


this what i followed util now. but's not authenticate with AD, IPA
user can login on solaris box
