Would there be anything wrong with Fedora DS just forcing
userAccountControl = 512? Or are more options needed in the user
creation dialog?
I'm not sure. 1.1.3 included a "fix" for userAccountControl. The way
it works now is this:
add new AD entry over LDAP - no userAccountControl attribute is present,
so it must use some sort of AD default value
read the new AD entry - get the userAccountControl value
set AD entry userAccountControl |= 0x200 # 512 == normal account)
So you might try a simple test - add a new AD entry over LDAP outside of
windows sync - see what the default userAccountControl value is - I'm
guessing that adding a new AD entry without specifying
userAccountControl sets it to PASSWD_NOTREQ + ACCOUNTDISABLE
Yes, users created via LDAP are disabled unless you explicitly provide the
userAccountControl attribute (with proper flags) in the LDAP Add operation. I
tripped over this myself the first time I loaded up a test database in AD. (It
also gave me a Fine Opportunity to time how long it took to LDAP Modify all of
the users in my test database. ugh...)
