hey #fedora#server#fedoraserver folks! I'm floating the idea of possibly dropping #activedirectory client support from the Fedora release criteria (so it'd still be there, but we wouldn't be required to test it every cycle and block the release if it fails). I'm looking for input.
is it a feature of Fedora you value? is it important enough to spend significant time automating (or continuing to test manually)?
@adamw is this feature also needed for the enterprise login in GDM in Workstation? Because I've talked to several sysadmins who use it and they complained it does not always work.
@sesivany it's required if the domain controller is AD. if the domain controller is FreeIPA, of course the AD support isn't needed.
But yeah, that's a good point: we don't actually test that flow either. If there's a bug which isn't in the FreeIPA support or the AD support but is in the GDM code itself, neither of them will work. We don't cover that flow in the automated testing - every time someone mentions it I think "oh yeah we should", but keep forgetting to do it. I'll file a ticket...
