hm, the AD DC requires that enterprise principal are used here, but we
cannot enable them because as mentioned earlier the FreeIPA KDC
currently does not support client referrals.

Basically you are seeing the same as described in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211631 . The
userPrincipalName attribute in AD contains a value we currently cannot
use. Unfortunately SSSD prefers this value if available and as described
in the bugzilla tickets it is currently not possible to override the
attribute name as well.

There might be one ugly hack which might help you, but it is really ugly
because you have to edit a executable file. The name of the attribute
'userPrincipalName' can be found exactly once in the IPA provider
executable, you can check this with

 strings /usr/{lib|lib64}/sssd/libsss_ipa.so | grep userPrincipalName

if you replace a single letter in this string with a different one, e.g.
'userPrinXipalName' in this file on all of your IPA servers and flush
the cache on all servers with 'sss_cache -E' and restart sssd on the
servers then SSSD should not be able anymore to read the attribute from
AD and will generate a principal on its own based on the user name and
the domain name which is corp.addomain.net in your case. With the
principal it should be possible to authenticate against AD. But as said,
this is really ugly, not supported and has to be done again at the next
update.

I'm sorry but currently I cannot think of a different way to make it
work with the current versions of SSSD and IPA.

bye,
Sumit
