<p>As part of configuring an Active Directory domain for use
on the local computer, <span class="command"><strong>realmd</strong></span> will configure
client software to enable domain accounts to be used on the local
computer.</p>
<p><span class="command"><strong>realmd</strong></span> supports two types of client
software for Active Directory:
<a class="ulink" href="https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/" target="_top">SSSD</a> and
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html" target="_top">Winbind</a>.
By default SSSD is used.</p>

<p><a class="ulink" href="https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/" target="_top">SSSD</a>
provides client software for various kerberos and/or LDAP
directories. Since version 1.9.x it provides good support
for Active Directory.</p>
<p>When joining a computer to an Active Directory domain,
<span class="command"><strong>realmd</strong></span> will use SSSD as the client software
by default. You can force use of SSSD by specifying the
<code class="option">--client-software=sssd</code> when joining the
domain with the
<a class="link" href="realm.html" title="realm"><span class="command"><strong>realm</strong></span></a>
command like this:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="screen">
$ <span class="command"><strong>realm join --client-software=sssd domain.example.com</strong></span>
</pre></div>

<p>Samba
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html" target="_top">Winbind</a>
provides client software for use with Active Directory.</p>
<p>To have <span class="command"><strong>realmd</strong></span> use Winbind as the
client software, configure the
<a class="link" href="realmd-conf.html#realmd-conf-active-directory" title="active-directory"><code class="option">default-client</code> setting</a>.
You can force use of Winbind by specifying the
<code class="option">--client-software=winbind</code> when joining the
domain with the
<a class="link" href="realm.html" title="realm"><span class="command"><strong>realm</strong></span></a>
command like this:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="screen">
$ <span class="command"><strong>realm join --client-software=winbind domain.example.com</strong></span>
