The situation is a separate group has created an LDAP domain. We'll call it foo.bar. (fyi, none of these are connected in any way to the Internet) They also have a Windows domain and renamed it to foo.bar so, in their words, they can connect the two so it becomes one domain in the future.
At this point I'm lost because I don't know enough about LDAP on RHEL. I know in AD that you can't just connect two domains with the same name and expect it to work because they are independent entities. I got involved because they want to include the network I manage as well (an AD domain called good.bar)
Can someone confirm and maybe provide a reference for why this won't work and is a stupendously bad idea?
