FreeIPA as AD replication

Can FreeIPA replace my Active Directory Server?

No. But with FreeIPA v2, you can replicate users and passwords from an AD server to FreeIPA server.

With FreeIPA v3, you can create a trust with Active Directory and SSO (single sign on) from a Windows machine to Linux machine.
