I have tried using likewise but I came across this yesterday. When you install Likewise only on a Linux, Unix, or Mac computer and not on Active Directory, you cannot associate a Likewise cell with an organizational unit, and thus you have no way to define a home directory shell in Active Directory for users who log on the computer with their domain credentials. I am trying to pull attributes from acitve directory.. namely the homeDirectory
I'm having a bit of an issue with Lucid installed via Wubi. I stuck the OS on its own partition (30 GB in size), and don't store any large files in the Ubuntu file system (when I download something large I move it to another hard drive.) I don't have anything wacky or esoteric installed on my system.
I've been consistently having a problem where, after a few hours or a few days of being booted up, Ubuntu warns me that my available HD space is dangerously small. The amount of available HD space Ubuntu sees then shrinks from a few GB to nothing within a few minutes, and the only way I can seem to solve this is to reboot. Taking a closer look at what's happening, my Home folder balloons in size until there's no more writable space recognized. But there are no files being created or added to, so it looks like there's a bug of some sort. This SEEMS to be correlated with watching videos (or maybe it's the pulling of large files from a mounted directory into RAM? My videos are all on another HD, as mentioned before). I can generally go a few days without getting the "low space" message, but I can't seem to make it through a full 2-hour movie without getting the error.
I would like to search a specific directory and pull out filenames that have this pattern: "_bsc_" Then I want to do some processing and move the file to another directory
I've joined my box to an AD domain and set it to allow user logins via AD. In 11.2 I could choose my domain vs local login when X started up, in 11.4 I can not find that ability.
I am using openSUSE 11.2 with active directory for authentication. I configured it using the Window Domain Membership YaST2 module and I can login successfully (although unreliably). The problem is that I need the UID and GID of the users on my computer to match the UID and GID assigned by Active Directory. Currently it just assigns UIDs and GIDs starting at 10000, which is completely different than the UID and GID used by Active Directory and by other Linux computer runs by the school (those use CentOS). Does anyone know how to get my openSUSE computer to assign UIDs and GIDs from Active Directory?
I am wondering why I used to pull a much faster download and upload (approx 20 down 3 up). Now I only get 2 down and barely 1 up). I am not sure why this happened. Any ways to check on this? Just this one, dell d505 running suse 11.2. All other WiFi computers are pulling bandwidth as expected.
I am attempting to setup a linux file server in active directory. It has been kind of an ongoing project(nightmare) for me... I have tried a few distributions of linux and I have to say I really enjoy openSUSE. YaST is my best friend. Now to the problem at hand.
I have samba installed and configured for the domain. I was able to successfully join the machine to the domain. I can even log on using domain user names and passwords (more than I was able to accomplish with other distros...). Where I am having a problem currently is I cannot see the suse machine from a windows machine. I can access shares from suse to windows though.
I've been trying to find a single set of instructions that define how to configure Fedora 12 to authenticate using Active directory without 100 steps (plus or minus) but difficult at best. I have about 12 Fedora 12 servers running as stand alone servers in a Windows 2003 network.
Can someone point me to a great set of instructions that can easily be replicated across multiple servers and a few workstations?
I have set my Ubuntu 10.04 box with our Windows domain. I can see from "net ads info" that I am on the domain. I can also get the password and group info with getent.So far so good. But I have tried to configure pam basically by following this guide:http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/battista...nbind/pam.html
Yet when I try to su or login as an AD user I just get and immediate "Unknown id: <userid>".I have had a look at /var/log/auth.log and there are no errors there.Can anyone provide some tips on debugging the pam configuration?
I'm actually a software developer, develop exclusively on Linux, and do know how to go about taking care of a Linux distro, so don't start telling me that 'sudo' isn't a sushi roll...
Question... I want to implement an Active Directory like authentication in a Linux-only environment. My office has approximately 15-25 local desktop PCs all running Ubuntu 10+ and one Ftp & SVN server running Ubuntu 10+.
Each developer has his/her own personal local account on his PC, and the shared PCs have different, local accounts for those developers. The FTP server has ONE (!!) account that everybody uses to access it, as does SVN.
The big picture is that I would like to install & configure a VPN server for remote developers. Before doing that, I'd like to find a way to unify the users across the network so that there exists only one UserX in the network.
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. As AD server already has integrated Kerberos server, I need SLES to authenticate in it.Everything works good, but when it comes to svcgssd service activation, I receive an error.Here's the log:
/usr/sbin/rpc.svcgssd -f ERROR: GSS-API: error in gss_acquire_cred(): Miscellaneous failure - No principal in keytab matches desired name
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?
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.
I am running the Ubuntu Netbook Remix and setting up our systems for Active Directory Domain Authentication. When I am hard wired in (ethernet), AD authentication works with no problems using the Likewise-Open software (installed through Ubuntu Software Center). What I want to be able to do is have people authenticate with AD with only a wireless connection. Has anybody done this before?
I want to install a FTP server (VSFTPD) on my Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.5 and i want to use Active Directory LDAP (windows server 2008 enterprise) for authentication. I can't add my windows LDAP to FTP server. I try my best but i cant to config it.
I am trying to integrate my centos machine with active directory [Windows Server 2008] using Kerberos and LDAP. I can now successfully SSH to my linux machine as an active directory user. Then it automatically creates home directory for that particular user using the PAM module.
My problem is that i cannot login to GDM using the same active directory account. Should I do some configuration changes for GDM login to take place using an active directory account.?
I have successfully connected (and authenticated the user) from linux (Ubuntu) to Active Directory (windows 2003) using "Likewise Open".
1. at the login screen I have to enter "example.localusername" to login. how can I simplify the login so that the user can choose (click)the domain and just enter the username and password (like the login in windows) or make the domain the default.
2. how can I configure the default user profile? meaning, when the user login for the first time, I want to configure his profile. does it use the "/etc/skel" directory like the regular local login?
But here is my problem... I have a windows 2003 server mini tower ATX running VMware workstation 7.0 that has a Ubuntu server 32-bit and a Ubuntu desktop; both versions are 10.04. Now, my ubuntu server edition joins active directory just fine, but my ubuntu desktop does not.
The scenario is I have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller which runs ADUC. I have created some security groups which I would like to apply to my network shares. The problem is, the majority of my network shares are based on Open Suse machines which, although are part of the domain, when trying to configure the shares using SMB, do not allow me to select the Active Directory groups. Any solution which will allow me to use ADUC security groups?
I have an old Apache version (1.3.11) and an old Redhat release (2.1.12-20 - Cartman)and need to authenticate a Windows 2003 domain. The authentication to an NT domain already works as expected (see below) but unfortunately I am unable to find the correct LDAP module for V1.3.11 to allow authentication.
From what I have read the LDAP module needs to be compiled with Apache but I am really not sure. Unfortunately I am unable to upgrade to Apache2 when I could presumibly use the authnz_ldap_module but if someone could point me to the correct LDAP module for 1.3.11 it .
Ive installed openldap-1.2.9-6 and openldap-devel-1.2.9-6 but don't particulary want to go down configuring LDAP when hopefully I can simply add the LDAP module to Apache which was not compiled in Apache initially.
Also, do I need to specifiy the AD domain password in the directives or can the Windows lads just create any account I can use.
Which package I need for install AD for linux ubuntu server 9.10 could you help explane my in example, which package i need install in server and which package i need install in client.
I am trying out few stuff with Linux and Windows. I have a 'Postfix' mail server on CentOS 5.5 with 'dovecot' and 'squirrel' (webmail) working fine. I am just wondering, how can I create bulk mailboxes on CentOS 5.5 (for postscript) so that the the users can access their mail from the browser (squirrel mail)?
How can I integrate with Active Directory? I am also looking for techniques to automatically create bulk users (for example 100 users) on Active Directory with a default passwords (or random passwords if possible) that integrate with Postfix.
