Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Documentation now describes configuration and limitations of IdM clients using an AD DNS host name
The Identity Management (IdM) documentation has been enhanced and now describes the configuration of IdM clients located in the DNS name space of a trusted Active Directory (AD) domain. Note that this is not a recommended configuration and has some limitations. For example, only password authentication is available to access these clients instead of single sign-on. Red Hat recommends to always deploy IdM clients in a DNS zone different from the ones owned by AD and access IdM clients through their IdM host names.
For detailed information, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Windows_Integration_Guide/ipa-in-ad-dns.html.
Description of problem:
In many user environments, the potential IdM clients are in a DNS domain controlled by Active Directory (aka "Trust Frankenstein setup").
Requirement to migrate them all to an IdM controlled domain is not usually rather complicated. This bug is a request for procedure or a document on how to deploy IdM with a client hostname in an AD DNS domain.
User Story:
IDMRHEL-42: As an Administrator with a big number of Linux machines in a DNS domain controlled by Active Directory, I want to join them to the IdM Server so that they can benefit from it’s Linux focused features.

I do not think we should do that. There is
#5903 always add mapping (my hostname) = (IPA realm) to krb5.conf
that can be tested that you mentioned.
I would like to use this Bugzilla as explicit exclamation of support levels of these scenarios, as described in the new documentation. At minimum, the Bugzilla can be used for tracking test coverage and automation.
