When logging into a Windows workstation that is a member of an Active Directory domain, the .\ prefix is used to specify a local user account rather than a domain account. Therefore, to refer to the local account bob, you would use .\bob.

In FreeIPA, ID views allow administrators to override default POSIX attributes for users and groups. This feature is useful when integrating with other identity management systems, enabling specific attribute values to be used on a per-host basis. This way, different POSIX attributes can be set for the same user or group in different contexts.

To establish a trust between a FreeIPA domain and an Active Directory domain, the correct command is ipa trust-add. This command is used to add a trust relationship with an Active Directory (AD) domain. The --type ad specifies the type of the trust, addom is the domain name, --admin Administrator specifies the AD administrator account, and --password prompts for the administrator's password.

The complete command looks like this:

a trust-add --type ad addom --admin Administrator --password

This command will initiate the trust creation process, which involves providing the credentials of the AD administrator.

To open NFSv4 ACLs in an editor, the following commands can be used:

nfs4_setfacl -e: This command is used to set NFSv4 ACLs, and the -e option opens the ACLs in an editor for modification. The command usage is:

This opens the ACL editor where the user can modify the ACLs for the specified file.

nfs4_editfacl: This command is a more intuitive way to edit NFSv4 ACLs directly in an editor. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing ACLs.

Automounting in a FreeIPA domain involves several key aspects:

Base Configuration File (/etc/auto.master): The auto.master file is the main configuration file for the automounter. It contains the master map which defines mount points and their corresponding maps. This file is crucial for setting up automount points.

Example entry in /etc/auto.master:

plaintext

Copy code

/home /etc/auto.home

SSSD Requirement: In a FreeIPA domain, automount requires the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) to be installed and configured on each client. SSSD is used to retrieve automount maps from the FreeIPA server, enabling the automount feature to function correctly.

Example configuration in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf:

[sssd] services = nss, pam, autofs config_file_version = 2 domains = example.com [domain/example.com] autofs_provider = ipa ipa_server = _srv_
