3. Logon scripts for clients.
4. shared printers
5. shared folders.

Ubuntu Servers :: Samba To Replace Windows File Server In Active Directory?

Jul 22, 2010

We have a couple of Windows file servers that just share files. It is all they do. We'd like to use Ubuntu on two replacement servers allowing Windows XP and Windows 7 clients to access the files. Our network is active directory based due to Exchange and homegrown .NET apps, so it is important that active directory is used to authenticate the clients. Samba doesn't need to be a pdc or bdc, but provide pass through authentication.I understand that Samba can communicate with active directory through security-ads and security-domain.

Here are my questions to see if I should proceed:1) Folder permissions:If we move all our files to the Ubuntu server how do we set folder permissions and will we see the active directory accounts when we do this?2) Skipping ubuntu accounts: I know the domain and ads allow you to skip creating ubuntu accounts, right? If not, how do you keep the passwords synchronized?3) Easiest way? Is there a very easy way to pull this off that I've missed? My goal is to eliminate the Windows based file servers while ensuring the admin part of it is as easy as possible.To date I've been able to get the sharing to work with an ubuntu account mirroring the active directory account. I've been able to get Samba to talk to the pdc, but not successfully through domain security. ADS security was a complete cluster with winbindd

CentOS 5 Server :: Integrating With Active Directory?

Aug 13, 2011

okay so we have multiple servers running CentOS and multiple people who need access to these machines for various tasks. i would like to be able to use the credentials from Active Directory (running on server 2008) to give them access to these servers without having to go through each server and add these people into permission groups. basically a single sign-on for all of these servers depending upon what permissions were granted in Active Directory. how do i go about doing this?

CentOS 5 Server :: Active Directory 2003 R2 Integration?

Jul 29, 2009

I was working to integrate Centos 5 and AD 2003 R2, this is my set up Windows side:

1. Install Identity Management for Unix, (Windows R2 already includes the Unix attribute not entirely necessary to install IMU, but it makes easier to configure the attributes from ADUC, when IMU is installed the Unix attributes TAB is shown in the user properties)

2. Configure the Unix attributes for every user account that will be authenticating from centos.

3. Create an user account to be used as a proxy for ldap, a regular user would be enough. Password never expires.

4. Create a computer account for every centos host; assign this computer account as pre-windows 2000 account.

5. Assign a value of 4128 to the user account control property for the computer account.

CentOS 5 :: Active Directory Permissions ?

May 6, 2009

My boss has commissioned me with creating a new file server to replace a M$ server that is installed now. We want to go with Linux for many reasons, but one big thing we want to be able to do is still manage permissions using M$ type permissions from our XP desktop's rather than unix style permissions. How would this be accomplished on a CentOS box?

CentOS 5 :: Samba And Active Directory

Feb 9, 2010

I have a freshly installed CentOS 5.4 box which I'm trying to get AD authentication working on. I have AD authentication via kerberos working for SSH, but when I try and have it work for SMB shares I'm getting an access denied error. What's even more odd is that when I tell pam to use winbind to authenticate SSH...it works just fine. Wbinfo -a username%password authenticates fine and getent passwd and group enumerates the AD users and groups ok. My smbd.log was throwing the following error "Failed to verify incoming ticket with error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" but has since stopped for some reason, but googling this indicated I needed re-join the machine to the domain, which I have.

CentOS 5 :: Kerberos Authentication To Active Directory?

Apr 15, 2009

I've configured kerberos authentication on my centos 5.2 box. When I kinit with a username in AD and not on the centos box, I get a TGT. However, I cannot log into the centos box as any of the AD users. This is probably a stupid question but do I also need to create the account's on the centos box that I have in AD? If so, does that mean i can then use pam to authenticate users on my cyrus imap process running on the centos box?

CentOS 5 :: Active Directory Integration - Authenticating SSH Users

Apr 22, 2009

First, I'm extremely green with linux. I'm trying to configure my CentOS 5.2 box to authenticate my SSH users with my Active Directory. What would be the best way to go about doing that? I've configured Winbind and joined it the the domain but I'm not able to login locally or SSH with an AD account. I'm not sure where to go from here. Also my users will not be accessing any file shares on this box, SSH only.

Fedora :: Attach A RHEL/CentOS System To An Active Directory Domain?

Mar 22, 2009

Attach a Fedora/RHEL/CentOS system to an Active Directory DomainBelow is a step by step outline of how to configure a Linux Samba fileserver to use an Active Directory domain for authentication and authorization in place of flat files. Note that this configuration has been replicated using Fedora 10, RHEL 5.3 and CentOS 5 since they all more or less share the same code base.me of the example server in this document is erver1.domain.forest.org, substitute correctly where appropriate. At the very least following packages must also be installed:

sambasamba-commonsamba-clientkrb5-workstationopenldap-clientsIt would be prudent to understand the underlying concepts of how Kerberos and Samba work prior to deploying this type of server. I find that SE-Linux will interfere with Samba services, particularly with winbind. I usually set SE-Linux to be in a permissive mode. It is possible to update the SE-Linux policies but that is outside the scope of this document, i.e you're on your own. In some cases I turned SE-Linux off since it was causing winbind to stop responding.

1. Set NTP to use the correct server for your Active Directory domain:shell> system-config-timeSet the primary NTP server to be your domain/forest NTP server2. Make backups of and edit the following system configuration files:a. shell> cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bakb. shell> vi /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver dns_server1_ip_address
nameserver dns_server2_ip_address
search domain.forest.org

I have AD DS installed on Windows Server 2008 R2. Also, I've got SLES 10.3 as NFSv4 server, which will allow remote users to mount their /home partitions. What I need, is NFSv4 w/Kerberos.

Server :: Squid NTLM Authentication Without Active Directory

Nov 11, 2010

I have a squid server currently running with basic authentication. This is a must because we constantly have different people using different machines but the rules must be set per user, not per machine.

We also have a lot of users coming and going. So every time a new user comes to the office I have to manually create a user for him so he can authenticate.

Anyway.. We do not have any windows servers so no Active Directory. But I need some solution to pass the windows login to Squid.

First question: It seems I am using NTLM currently for samba as the person can map their home directories on their windows box withuot authenticating. Why can I not use it for squid?

Second question: Can I make my Centos server into an AD server?

Ubuntu Servers :: Server 10.04 As LDAP Client Of Active Directory?

Nov 19, 2010

(This was posted at the end of another thread, where it probably didn't belong, so reposting here)I have Active Directory set up on one machine (and I can't really adjust the settings very much) and Ubuntu Server 10.04, which I would like to use as a client.I followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LD...Authentication, but when I get to

Code:
getent passwd
I don't see anything from the LDAP, and ssh'ing into the box from an LDAP/AD username certainly doesn't work.

In addition, I've attempted to use Webmin's LDAP Configuration module to configure it. I can connect to the server and can browse it with the LDAP browser with my settings, but the Webmin package doesn't recognize the users (which are organized in one of four Organizational Units (OUs) within the OU that I have as my Search Base) as users,

Server :: Active Directory Roaming Profiles On Ubuntu External HDD?

Nov 4, 2009

I have a Ubuntu 9.10 desktop, with an external HD shared via Samba, with some users and folders on it. I have another computer on the network running Winblows Server 03', handling Active Directory (that I am still setting up and testing before any serious implementation.) I've been testing GPOs I am building on an XP SP3 virtual machine that is running off my Ubuntu desktop as well, that I joined to the AD domain.

However, the Domain Controller doesn't have a very big hard drive, and I'd like to take advantage of having 930GB free on this external hard drive for roaming user profiles, especially since I backup all of the drive contents every week. This would simplify a lot for me. What would you recommend is the best way to go about setting this up with my Samba configuration? I have a feeling /media/Slave/UserProfiles permissions will get somewhat complex.

Server :: Authenticate A Group Of Servers Against Windows Active Directory?

Feb 26, 2011

We have a small group of linux servers, currently with local logins. I want to eliminate the local logins and authenticate against the corporate AD. I've been looking at PAM - but winbind requires each machine to be added to the AD. This becomes a pain if we create new virtual or physical servers. Is it possible to have one server authenticate directly with AD, and the other servers authenticate against this server, which defers to the one server that is registered in AD?
