OK, I verified that this works. If I override the user name, I also need to put an entry
in idmapd.conf and /etc/krb5.conf, or ls -l over NFS4 won’t work, and ssh without a
password won’t work. But for just mapping uid numbers, it would work. However I’m trying
to set up a self-service environment for sysadmins, so setting up all those overrides is
difficult. I’d probably need to set up ACLs so that a host can set up and manage overrides
for itself, and then write a script that goes through /etc/passwd and sets them up.
Frankly, although it’s architecturally uglier, to avoid getting inexperienced sysadmins
buried in technology they won’t understand, it’s better just to set sssd to use proxy for
files, and set nsswitch to files, ldap.
Of course we’re really hoping we can get sysadmins to move to our IPA data completely.

The solution is to use ID Views on IPA to change the users UIDs on those
machines. Hving the same users in files and ipa with different UIDs is not
going to go down well and messing with PAM is just going to mnake the system
even more brittle.
The proper migration is to remove users from /etc/passwd, and use an ID View to
"correct" any posix data on the target machines, until you can rebuild new
ones
with the central names.
Simo.

we have hundreds of systems run by faculty and grad students. I’d like to encourage them
to integrate with our system. However their usernames and UIDs don’t typically match ours.
I don’t think there’s much I can do about usernames. But I’d at least like to survive
differing UIDs. Kerberos and even NFS V4 don’t care about UIDs.

their own Kerberos credentials.

I need to get groups from IPA in order to interpret groups on our Netapp. I’d like to get
users from IPA when there isn’t an entry in /etc/passwd, so that ls -l on the Netapp can
interpret user names.

or idmapd.conf, since I’d have to put the mapping in both (I think).
