Thanks Rob very much. I will try of course on the test system :)

Basically what you need to do is: - install freeIPA - get an ldif dump of your OpenLDAP server - remove any unneeded structural and configuration options from the ldif - convert this ldif to the IPA DIT - load the ldif You can see the DIT we use at http://freeipa.org/page/UsingRhdsWithIpa When converting to our DIT you'll also need to ensure that the user entries are set up properly. This means having: - the krbprincipalname attribute set to <uid>@<REALM> - update the objectclass list - set gidnumber to the ipausers group You'll end up with a bunch of users that will work with simple auth but don't have kerberos keys yet so kinit will fail. You'll need to create some mechanism where they authenticate using their user password in order to get kerberos keys. And of course, do this on a test system first to make sure I haven't missed something :-) rob
