[Freeipa-users] Identification with openLDAP and authorization with FreeIPA

Hello list,

Here's my situation:
I'm installing Hadoop for a customer, and the Hadoop cluster is secured 
with Kerberos. I used FreeIPA as a KDC.
The customer uses openLDAP as a directory server.

For now, our solution is to copy the whole openLDAP user base to 
FreeIPA, and then use FreeIPA for the identification and authorization 
(all the keytab stuff).
But keeping openLDAP and FreeIPA in sync is a nightmare, and I was 
wondering something:
Would it be possible to configure SSSD to simultaneously target the 
openLDAP server to identify a user, and the FreeIPA server to get the 
tickets?
That way, we can avoid having to keep openLDAP and FreeIPA in sync...

_*OR*_

Is there an efficient way to keep openLDAP and FreeIPA in sync?

All ideas are welcome!!

Thank you guys,

Cheers,

m.
