51장. Enabling AD users to administer IdM

You can centrally manage access of Active Directory (AD) users and groups to Identity Management (IdM) resources in a POSIX environment by adding an ID user override for an AD user as a member of an IdM group.

An ID override is a record describing what a specific Active Directory user or group properties should look like within a specific ID view, in this case the Default Trust View. With this feature, the IdM LDAP server is able to apply access control rules for the IdM group to the AD user.

AD users can use the self service features of IdM UI, for example to upload their SSH keys, or change their personal data. An AD administrator is able to fully administer IdM without having two different accounts and passwords.
