Realm specific settings

These options should go in an section with the same name as the realm in the /etc/realmd.conf file. For example for the domain.example.com domain the section would be called [domain.example.com]. To figure out the canonical name for a realm use the realm command:

$ realm discover --name DOMAIN.example.com
domain.example.com
...

Only specify the settings you wish to override.

computer-ou

Specify this option to create directory computer accounts in a location other than the default. This currently only works with Active Directory domains.

[domain.example.com]
computer-ou = OU=Linux Computers,DC=domain,DC=example,DC=com
# computer-ou = OU=Linux Computers,

Specify the OU as an LDAP DN. It can be relative to the Root DSE, or a complete LDAP DN. Obviously the OU must exist in the directory.

It is also possible to use the --computer-ou argument of the realm command to create a computer account at a specific OU.
