#2885 Provide documentation how to handle setups with and without server-side POSIX attributes
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 8 years ago by jhrozek.

Linux and UNIX setups generally rely on having POSIX attributes for resource ownership. But with some servers, especially AD, there are no POSIX attributes available.

This can be worked around by setting the POSIX attributes via administrative console like Identity Management for Unix: http://blogs.technet.com/b/activedirectoryua/archive/2015/01/25/identity-management-for-unix-idmu-is-deprecated-in-windows-server.aspx

But that is getting deprecated. While SSSD allows clients to algorithmically map IDs from SIDs, we should have an article or a blog post that explains what our users should do. Local overrides should also be mentioned as well as IDM trusts.


Feel free to work on this ticket sooner if anyone is interested!
