Tests for AD trust can use three types (roles) of AD machines: forest root, subdomain and tree domain. All those machines were placed in one domain object of multihost configuration, though they all have different domain names. This is bad as we can not use domain attributes provided by multihost plugin like host.domain.name and host.domain.basedn and others and need to reimplement them, evaluating domain name from host.hostname. And if we accidently used those properties it would lead to difficult to locate errors (we would use same domain name for all AD hosts). I modified multihost fixture function mh() to allow creating several AD domains. As multihost plugin does not support requesting multiple domains with the same type, I had to introduce new domain types: AD_SUBDOMAIN and AD_TREEDOMAIN. Also there was a error in mh() which forced user to provide all three AD machines when only one was needed (value from test class property num_ad_domains was applied to subdomains and treedomains requirement). I changed this behavior and now additional AD machines are specified with properties num_ad_subdomains and num_ad_treedomains.

FreeIPA Server
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 management 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
- KDC - based on MIT Kerberos implementation
- PKI based on Dogtag project
- Samba libraries for Active Directory integration
- DNS Server based on BIND and the Bind-DynDB-LDAP plugin
