Just a friendly reminder , my question was "how do you do it?"
We use a combination of LDAP and Samba Winbind/Active Directory to manage our users. For general users, they are all managed in Active Directory, w/ a team that handles on-boarding (account creation, group assignment, etc) with Winbind handling the authentication and automatic homedir creation on first login. For SysAdmins, we use LDAP and manually create the users because they don't change all that often. No real automation involved in any of it, sadly, but we made the decision to have centralized user management vs independent users on every box. -jason
