Seriously, is run_as broken when combined with the AD realm?

The docs around this topic aren't the greatest and I'm not the only one on this forum having this issue but the question still remains unanswered.

It's a little frustrating considering how expensive x-pack is and this functionality is almost elementary in other applications.

Unfortunately this isn't possible today with x-pack. We have a feature request to add an AD bind user to the product which will make this use case possible. Our LDAP authentication is able to use a bind user which will make this use case possible. The LDAP documentation can be found here:

Thanks.
