I have a pair of FreeIPA servers set up for single sign-on of Linux clients. This is currently an all-linux system; I'd like to expand it to use FreeNAS as the NAS and Windows clients. I have searched but can't find a guide or best practices to set this up. I think Linux clients would access shares with NFS, Windows with SMB. I'm not yet sure if I can use the FreeIPA accounts and passwords on the windows hosts. If I can, then I'll need to get FreeNAS to authenticate all users using the FreeIPA identities, right? Otherwise, I think I'll need to set up a AD server for windows with a trust to FreeIPA so users can use the same account on both windows and Linux. Can FreeNAS be used as that AD server and can it establish a trush with the FreeIPA servers?

Apologies if the questions are unclear; I'm new to FreeNAS and trying to put some thought into architecting a home system.
