[Mozilla Enterprise] AD Group Policies under Linux?

[James Pearson]

I believe the RHEL sssd/GPO settings can only be used to allow/deny login access etc ?

The RHEL rebuild of Firefox is essentially just that, a rebuild of the Mozilla provided source code

Depends upon the Linux.

For example
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/windows_integration_guide/sssd-gpo
     This enables the administrator to define login policies honored
     by both Linux and Windows clients centrally on the AD domain controller.
so a RHEL7 machine, at least, can in principle do what Luca asks,
provided Firefox for Linux is willing and able to play.

RedHat supply their own version of Firefox, so they may support this
feature even if Mozilla haven't.
