Fixed In Version:	sssd-1.9.1-1.el6	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	Cause: SSSD versions prior to 1.9 would typically use id_provider=ldap when connecting to Active Directory. That configuration required quite some tweaking and couldn't use the advanced features that are AD specific. Consequence: Configuring the SSSD as an AD client required AD knowledge and the performance was not optimal Change: A new provider for the SSSD was implemented Result: The administrator can set up AD client without having to know the specific AD attribute mappings and performance of AD provider is better especially during login than performance of LDAP provider.

Description Stephen Gallagher 2012-06-14 14:54:30 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1377

For simplicity of setup, we should build an AD provider that will carry the configuration necessary to communicate with an Active Directory 2008 R2 server or later, using ID-mapping and with Kerberos for authentication.

This would mostly be a roll-up of functionality from the LDAP and Kerberos providers (similar to the IPA provider), while providing some specialized options such as 'ad_server' and 'ad_domain'.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:06:10 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:06:41 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
