i have a windows domain and linux ftp server. OSs windows 2003 server and centos 5.5. i would like to integrate this file server to windows domain. And would authenticate users from windows domain.
View 4 RepliesThe company I work for, as usual, is Microsoft-centric. I'm attempting to integrate my Ubuntu server into the domain to allow domain users to authenticate to the server and access file shares using Samba. Here's my current configuration:
[Code].....
At work, we run Windows... Windows domain, windows workstations, etc. Today my boss asked me my thoughts on running an Ubuntu lab within the mixture of our existing Windows setup.
Well, that brought several questions to mind. So I understand you can bind an Ubuntu computer to a Windows domain, seems easy enough, whether you do it through Samba or the other guide I read that I kind of forget at the moment, but anyway...
I was just curious how Ubuntu interacts with domain users when on the windows domain. For example, if we have an Ubuntu machine on the Windows domain with a local user "administrator" and that's it, would any domain users be able to log into the Ubuntu work station, similar to how it is on Windows?
Intent is to use samba+winbind to authenticate Ubuntu desktop against a Windows 2008 R2 domain (seems like I was able to get it working temporarily but it stopped working after some time). Quick overview of the issue: winbind is failing to lookup group ID's for a domain user causing the domain user to receive group errors on login and an inability to use domain groups in other configuration (sudoers, etc)
- Very basic install, boot to Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 LTS 64bit install, basic install options, perform software updates
- Following an Ubuntu AD HowTo [URL]
- Install kerberos, samba, winbind packages
- Make changes to krb5.conf, smb.conf, files in pam.d/ (to make the home directory and restrict login based on group membership, which works even in the half-working state but requires SID instead of text name)
After a reboot I can login as a domain account but I get the following error(s):
groups: cannot find name for group ID #####
##### is usually a number that ranges from 10000 to 10020, based on the smb.conf line regarding idmap I will get multiple group errors (one for each group that the user belongs to that winbind can't lookup for whatever reason, some groups can be resolved - see below) If I log-out and then log-in as a local user I can run the following command: id username The output returns something similar to the following:
uid=10002(username) gid=10003(domain users) groups=10003(domain users),10033,10032,10031,10030,10029,10028,10027,1 0026,10025,10024,10023,10022,10021(some group),10020,10019,10018(some other group),10017,10016,10015,10014,10013,10012,10011(s ome other other group),10010,10009,10008,10007
On a working system (Ubuntu 10.10 and when 10.04 decides to work) each group is followed by parenthesis' and the name of the group, this result clearly shows that some groups can be looked up but for some reason other groups are failing An output of /var/log/samba/log.winbind produces the following entries (that are logged when you run the id command)
[2011/08/03 19:04:39, 1] winbindd/winbindd_ads.c:1137(lookup_groupmem)
lsa_lookupsids call failed with NT_STATUS_PIPE_BROKEN - retrying...
[2011/08/03 19:04:39, 1] winbindd/winbindd_ads.c:1137(lookup_groupmem)
lsa_lookupsids call failed with NT_STATUS_PIPE_BROKEN - retrying...
The above repeats for what looks to be each group that fails (based on count of entries)If I use wbinfo I can resolve text group name to SID and SID to GID
wbinfo -n groupname (returns proper SID)
wbinfo -s SID (returns proper text group name)
wbinfo -Y SID (returns proper linux mapped group ID)
Following that process for a group that my user belongs to that is not resolving (via the id username command) will return the group ID (GID) properly (even though id username fails to lookup info for that same GID) Version Information:

I was wondering if there is any way to enable an MS Windows client that is otherwise unable of joining a domain to join a domain controlled by (open)SUSE? Is that inability only for joining a Windows based domain but a client that runs XP Home Edition or similar domain- incapable version of Windows could join a domain if it was controlled by Linux?Pardon my newbie style, but answer doesn't have to be detailed step-by-step, just yes/no answer with some pointers would do. I am not new to linux but new to network services... search engines weren't friendly when asked this question at the search bar...
View 2 Replies View Relatedi need to allow window domain controller user to use file share of linux.windows DC user can see the share file and directories of linux file server but not able to access.
below is brief--
I have a Linux machine which is on my network but not on my domain. I have configured SAMBA FILESERVER for file sharing purpose. I have a Windows XP PC which is on the domain(windows server) that I am trying to connect to a share on the Linux box. I supply my credentials but regardless of which login I use I always get Logon Failure. I have created an account on the Linux machine with the same user name and password as my domain account but so far no luck. Can I connect from a domain PC to a non-domain Linux box? Is there something else I should be checking?
I'm working for a smallish non-profit that has gone through some recent growing pains. We have two sites that are currently without a domain controller, and no money for MS licenses, so I was thinking of trying to add a couple of additional Linux machines (we already run Linux for web services internally, and I've set up a test case previously to see if I could get a server to join the domain, which was a success) and was trying to find out if I can get them to act as Domain Controllers without replacing the domain. The main issue that I'm having at those locations is drive mappings are not happening correctly against our DFS file servers. The one other location that had this issue had it go away when we added a local DC. The domain is a Server 2008 domain.

On server side i have windows 2003 server. On windows 2003 server in active directory i have assigned each user a disk space. I have sucessfully joined linux (ubunto) box to the active directory domain but my linux box has access ($ it can use) to all other user diskpace ( they can browse other users) and when i joined windows xp client with the same server it works properly( xp client cant access or use other diskpace)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIm an IT manager for a small company with a small ammount of users. We already use linux for our data server and I would like to implement a domain controller. All of our user machines are WIndows XP pro.
Ive been reading up on using OpenLDAP as an alternative to active directory.
What I want is just a simple active directory like server, with a GUI if possible.
What do I need to look at and how would I go about setting this up? Im fairly proficient with Ubuntu already, I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Is it even possible to have my windows users be able to log in to their machines using an ubuntu domain controller?
When i try to login with AD credentials on Ubuntu 10.10 and the user has is password almost expire, the gdm hang and display the message "your password will expire in ... days"
If i login with any other user without that restriction, it works flawless. does anyone know what configuration file i need to change to bypass that problem.
I've got a home server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 and several machines running Ubuntu Desktop (9.04 and 8.04) and Windows (XP, Vista and 7). Now what I want to do is to create a domain and directory server similar in function to Windows Server w/ AD and join my other machines to the domain, but am not sure where to start. I already have file shares with Samba but now I want to setup a domain.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAt the school i work in i have a server2k3 server that provides a domain to all the windows clients, aswell as a fedora server that acts as an imaging machine and webserver.
Im rather concious of the fact that if for any reason the Server2k3 server was to die there is no backup of active directory, or anything that can take its place whilst a replacement is found.
So is it possible to use a fedora machine with samba as a secondary domain controller? so it can be used as a login server, and has a copy of AD.
This server would run DNS, Active Directory and extra storage for windows machines.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to connect to a Samba share on a VirtualBox'ed Windows 7 that is connected to an openSUSE host in bridged mode. For reasons beyond my comprehension I cannot use the shared folders feature, so I'm using Samba instead. I configured a share through openSUSE's Samba server configuration tool:
[iTunes]
inherit acls = Yes
path = /home/myusername/iTunes
read only = No
valid users = myusername
I also set a password for this user using smbpasswd -a myusername. I can go to smb://192.168.1.6 on the host machine and log in to the share successfully, but on Windows 7 I see this: What am I doing wrong? I can connect to the shares list without any problems. It's just the login that doesn't work.
Update: I noticed that my Samba server is part of the WORKGROUP domain.
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.7-1.17.1-2505-SUSE-SL11.4-x86_64]

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe've been running samba on linux for a while and everything was fine. All of a sudden when you add new clients to the domain you get the error message :Logon Failure:unknown user name or bad password. This to me seems like a windows error message and not a samba error. When you remove an existing machine (ie on domain) and then try to rejoin it to the domain you fail.

I have configured NIS, DNS, NFS and DHCP servers at my home network. I can easily authenticate another Linux machine to these servers and make that machine as a client and also users can locin using the automounter. My Question is, is it possible that by using the same setup I can authenticate a windows Xp machine and make it as a client, and also users can login using the passwords that I have provided on my NIS server?

If user enter the correct domain credentials only user aloow access to the page in any time user trying to access otherwise not.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're still using an NT Domain Server, and Samba is already configured properly. But the problem is if the shared folder is configured in samba to be accessed by group and not the domain username, authentication fails even if the user is member of the group.
Example#1: (authentication successful)
[sharedfolder]
valid users = domain+username
Example#2:
[sharedfolder] (authentication fails)
valid users = @domaingroup
Samba version is samba-3.0.33
I want to host 5 websites on my new virtual server so I have created 2 nameservers that point to my virtual server's IP addresses as a glue record. What confuses me is when I create a new domain on my server it gives the new domain it's own nameservers (ns1.thenewdomain.co.uk etc) do I need to change these records so they use the nameservers I created earlier? If I do? Which particular records should I change? I'm running a Unix virtual server with a Plesk control panel.
