Samba Windows Domain Membership

view full story
linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – Hello all, I have sucessfully joined my machine to Windows Active Directory (it wasn't all that complicated :P). Anyway, I was wondering where the uid information for users that login is located and managed? The reason I ask is because we are going to set up a separate NFS server and NFS relies on the uids of the users. I know there are numerous ways I can view the uid for a user (through the use of the id <username> command, do an ls on the /home directory displaying the uid instead of the translated name, etc), but is there a way to have this readily available (almost as the /etc/passwd file is)? I have done some searches, but cannot find anything straight forward as of yet. Thanks! (Distributions)

Stories similar to Samba Windows Domain Membership

I currently have a Samba share setup where I would like to share Unix folders with Windows users, with Active directory as the backend.

I have sent the following question to stackoverflow website

I have installed Windows server 2008 r2 on a virtual machine, Can I install Active directory with domain controller + IIS + SQL server on the same machine?

here is my problem:

I recently created a new Active Directory Domain (Windows Server 2008 R2), and add users to the domain. Then I migrated each computers to the new domain, log off, and then log on as NEWDOMAIN\Username.

I have been working on this for 2 days now and am about to give up so someone please help.

I have a Red Hat 6 server joined to my active directory domain. Logins work just fine under normal circumstances. I have SSH login restricted to specific active directory groups by using require_membership_of= in the file/etc/security/pam_winbind.conf.

I'm a developer, not a server admin, so please bear with me!

I've been tasked with checking the installation of some software on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine in the cloud, within two scenarios:

There is no domain, the software will use local users and groups for authentication There is a domain, the software will use domain users and groups for authentication

I've done part 1, but I'm puz

Can I create a domain using SAMBA and set up Active Directory with SAMBA on it? And by this I mean no windows servers involved. I would also like to be able to log in from a Windows machine. Preferably on OpenSuSE.

My objective is to have a domain with centralized authentication just like AD.

So I've created a domain controller (DC) as well as 3 machines (SQL-A, SQL-B, SQL-CORE). All are running Windows Server2008R2 (on virtualbox). I have successfully joined the 3 machines to the domain controller.

Next I created a user in active directory called Kim_Akers who is a member of "Domain Admins", "Domain users", "Enterprise Admins" and "Schema Admins".

Samba with password server 21 weeks 5 days ago

Hi guys,

I have also here a Sol-10 with samba configured all is working out but just want to know if i set a password server pointing to a windows domain with Active Directory... do i still have to create a samba user on my Sol-10 or all username/pass authentication will be done on the windows domain?

I am trying to change the Active Directory (on a Windows 2008 server) from a CentOS 6.2 machine over openLDAP.

I have tried passwd, ldappasswd and trying to see if I can do it with Samba without the use of TSL/SSL/SASL. Is this possible?
