Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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.

Description Deon Ballard 2011-10-25 19:58:37 UTC

At a minimum, the sync user needs to have read, write, and replicator rights to the AD subtree for winsync to work.

Replicator rights: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891995 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303972.

Comment 2 Deon Ballard 2011-10-27 17:51:04 UTC

This popped up on the #freeipa channel (hat tip, Lars Sjöström), and it sounds good.

"Add the AD sync user to the AD domain (with adsiedit.msc) and allow the user to do "Replicating directory changes" instead of using the Enterprise Read-only domain controller role."

Comment 3 Deon Ballard 2011-10-27 17:53:19 UTC

Also from the channel...

"If you're about to perform a winsync the AD-binduser account can be memberof "Account Operator" as well as "Enterprise Read-Only Domain controller" .. no need to be full "Domain Admin"."
