When trust is established, ipasam module creates a number of objects in LDAP to represent the trust information. Among them, for one-way trust we create a principal named IPA$@AD where IPA is a NetBIOS (flat) name of the IPA forest and AD is a realm of the trusted Active Directory forest root domain. This principal is then used by SSSD on IPA masters to authenticate against trusted Active Directory domain controllers and retrieve information about user and group identities. FreeIPA also uses this principal's credentials to retrieve domain topology. The access to the keys of the principal should be well-protected. We only allow to retrieve the keytab for it for members of cn=adtrust agents group. This group is populated with host/ and cifs/ principals from IPA masters. Starting with FreeIPA 4.2 the group will also have host/ principals of IPA masters where no ipa-adtrust-install was run. To add them, run ipa-adtrust-install on the master which will be configured to be a domain controller (e.g. run Samba with ipasam), and specify --add-agents option to trigger activation of the interactive mode to specify which IPA masters to enable.

IPA Server
Overview
--------
FreeIPA allows Linux administrators to centrally manage identity,
authentication and access control aspects of Linux and UNIX systems
by providing simple to install and use command line and web based
managment tools.
FreeIPA is built on top of well known Open Source components and standard
protocols with a very strong focus on ease of management and automation
of installation and configuration tasks.
FreeIPA can seamlessly integrate into an Active Directory environment via
cross-realm Kerberos trust or user synchronization.
Benefits
--------
FreeIPA:
* Allows all your users to access all the machines with the same credentials
and security settings
* Allows users to access personal files transparently from any machine in
an authenticated and secure way
* Uses an advanced grouping mechanism to restrict network access to services
and files only to specific users
* Allows central management of security mechanisms like passwords,
SSH Public Keys, SUDO rules, Keytabs, Access Control Rules
* Enables delegation of selected administrative tasks to other power users
* Integrates into Active Directory environments
Components
----------
The FreeIPA project provides unified installation and management
tools for the following components:
* LDAP Server - based on the 389 project (LDAP)
