Just to make sure that I'm on the right path to get this working the way I would like.
I have a linux file server that has used LDAP the user and group information in the past. I would like to migrate (recreate) the same users and groups in the samba4 AD DC, adding the UID and GID attributes. So that I don't have to change the UID and GID permissions on the file servers.
The migration plan would be to setup the new samba 4 server, get staff to reset their password on the new server. Then upgrade samba on the file servers, point winbind to the new samba server and the migration at the server level would be done. Users systems not all mobile and not members of the existing domains - so the scripts they use to connect to the shares would just need to make use of the new domain name in the share connection strings.
The problems I'm having now are that wbinfo -I username seems to return some mapped version of the AD user ID and group ID and not the UID and GID.
Account was created with:
sudo samba-tool user add <username> --uid-number=5000 gid-number=5000 home-directory=/exports/users/<usersname> login-shell=/bin/bash
Domain was provisioned with:
sudo /usr/bin/samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 -interactive
Domain member server smb.conf
idmap config DOM : backend = ad
idmap config DOM : schema_mode = rfc2307
idmap config DOM : range = 500-2000
idmap_ldb : use rfc2307 = yes
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
What am I missing? Linux authentication works but the user information is incorrect (wrong uid and gid)
Thanks
Derek
