Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Linux admins/users may not know that the AD distribution group type
is intended only for email. Per microsoft: Distribution groups are
not security enabled, which means that they cannot be listed in
discretionary access control lists (DACLs).

SSSD filters out Domain Local groups from remote domains in the AD
forest. By default they are filtered out e.g. when following a
nested group hierarchy in remote domains because they are not valid
in the local domain. This behavior is dependent on the value for
the <quote>ad_allow_remote_domain_local_groups</quote> option
listed above.
