# change DNS settings to refer to AD

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/resolv.conf

domain srv.world
search srv.world
nameserver 10.0.0.100

# * if you are using resolvconf or Networkmanager programs,
# change nameserver setting on a file for their requirements

# discover Active Directory domain

root@dlp:~#

[3]	If you'd like to omit domain name for AD user, configure like follows.

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

# line 16 : change

use_fully_qualified_names =

False

root@dlp:~#

systemctl restart sssd

root@dlp:~#

id Administrator

uid=1065400500(administrator) gid=1065400513(domain users) groups=1065400513(domain users),1065401153(esx admins),1065400572(denied rodc password replication group),1065400512(domain admins),1065400518(schema admins),1065400520(group policy creator owners),1065400519(enterprise admins)

AD users UID/GID are assigned randomly, but if you'd like to assign fixed UID/GID, configure like follows.

Add UNIX attributes to AD accounts first, refer to here.
This example is based on the environment AD accounts have [uidNumber/gidNumber] attributes.

Next, change SSSD settings on Debian Server.

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

# line 17 : change

ldap_id_mapping =

False

# add to the end

ldap_user_uid_number = uidNumber
ldap_user_gid_number = gidNumber

# clear cache and restart sssd

root@dlp:~#

rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/*

root@dlp:~#

systemctl restart sssd

root@dlp:~#

id serverworld

uid=5000(serverworld) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
