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.

The current recipe on joining clients from Windows controlled domain in FreeIPA/IdM domain is described in this article: http://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/IPA_Client_in_Active_Directory_DNS_domain
Ticket #5903 was fixed upstream: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/f0160a2ed28325e46be2921ac44d71ee88d1b3b1/
can we switch component to LDI guide given that there is no code? (https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5903 was just a convenient helper)
I changed the component of the BZ and removed it from the RN list.
(In reply to Petr Vobornik from comment #11) > can we switch component to LDI guide given that there is no code? > (https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5903 was just a convenient helper) 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.
