Hi, PS there is a difference between password sync and user (win)sync, they run independently.
So you can do password sync without winsync. Password sync puts a msi on the AD box to intercept the password and send it on before its encrypted (as I understand it)....that might also give your AD admins kittens.... ;] We also run IPA admins (who can log into the web ui) as a seperate user ID unique in IPA, that way if AD gets hacked the hacker doesnt get to own IPA as well via a password change. regards Steven Jones Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE Victoria University, Wellington, NZ 0064 4 463 6272 ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Tovey, Mark [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 17 July 2013 10:06 a.m. To: Rich Megginson Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Freeipa-users] Limit password synchronization from Active Directory Ouch! The AD admins have already expressed an unwillingness to move some users into a separate container. And I don’t want to have several thousand unnecessary entries in my IPA system. It looks like password synchronization is not going to be an option.

There are around 15,000 entries in our production AD system, but probably only about 300 of those need to have an account in the IPA system. Can we set an attribute in the user information in AD that would flag that this is a candidate for replication, and lack of that attribute would cause an account to be skipped? No. The only thing you can do is create a special container (cn=IPA users or ou=IPA users or something like that), move the users you want to sync into that container, and sync only that container.
