As part of configuring an Active Directory domain for use on the local computer, realmd will configure client software to enable domain accounts to be used on the local computer.
realmd supports two types of client software for Active Directory: SSSD and Winbind. By default SSSD is used.
SSSD provides client software for various kerberos and/or LDAP directories. Since version 1.9.x it provides good support for Active Directory.
When joining a computer to an Active Directory domain,
realmd will use SSSD as the client software
by default. You can force use of SSSD by specifying the
--client-software=sssd when joining the
domain with the
realm
command like this:
$ realm join --client-software=sssd domain.example.com
Samba Winbind provides client software for use with Active Directory.
To have realmd use Winbind as the
client software, configure the
default-client setting.
You can force use of Winbind by specifying the
--client-software=winbind when joining the
domain with the
realm
command like this:
$ realm join --client-software=winbind domain.example.com
