Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Linux distributions such as Debian/RedHat are able to join Microsoft Active Directory via the realm command from the realmd project, ex.:
Joining an Active Directory with Photon OS is possible, but it is not nearly as straight-forward due to Photon not including the package that installs the realm command.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please add the realm command to Photon 5 and back-port support to Photon 4 as well. This will help standardize the way users join Linux systems to Active Directory across Debian, RHEL, and Photon systems.
The project page for realmd is https://www.freedesktop.org/software/realmd/ and the source code for the realm command is available at https://cgit.freedesktop.org/realmd/realmd/.
Thank you!
