Hi,
I've a question about the syntax of the valid users option. Any help is
greatly appreciated!
Here is the Background:
samba 3.0.4
Linux as Domain Member
Active Directory, not in Native Mode
Compiler opions: --with-winbind --with-pam --with-smbmount
The goal is to authenticate via the Windows Domain and allow access via
Windows groups.
The syntax in my smb.conf looks like this:
valid users = DOMAIN\SOMEGROUP
However, it doesn't work no matter what.
I can authenticate individual users thusly:
valid users = DOMAIN\SOMEUSER
I've read about the "@" "+" and "&" syntax, but they only seem to
represent Unix & Nis groups.
Is there another way to represent Windows groups? Or is my config the
culprit?
Here's the conf file:
smb.conf:
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = DOMAIN
# WINS service
winbind uid = 10000-20000
winbind gid = 10000-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
wins server = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
password server = *
server string = SAMBA
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
log level = 10
security = domain
auth methods = guest sam ntdomain
encrypt passwords = yes
local master = no
dns proxy = no
[SOMESHARE]
comment = Some Share
path = /d1/articles
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
valid users = DOMAIN\SOMEGROUP
