Hi - On an older Ubuntu 18 computer, I tried to configure Samba, whose
latest version available for Ubuntu 18 is Samba 4.7.6. I successfully
joined to our windows domain, according to all commands that I've run,
including wbinfo. I am running SSSD for domain login access, which
works fine. But when I try to connect from a Windows 10 computer to the
Samba server, it says user and password is correct, and prompts for
username and password again. It still says that it is incorrect. The
samba log for that node, initially showed me this error:
[2022/04/18 01:28:38.164874, 0]
../source3/auth/auth_util.c:1259(check_account)
check_account: Failed to convert SID
S-1-5-21-1078081533-1580818891-1957994488-2127 to\
a UID (dom_user[PSFC\mrl])
I couldn't find any any solution on the web that useful. Then
something I did, caused the error message to change to this:
[2022/04/18 02:05:39.810294, 0]
../source3/auth/auth_util.c:1267(check_account)
check_account: Failed to find local account with UID 3000 for SID
S-1-5-21-1078081533-\
1580818891-1957994488-2127 (dom_user[PSFC\mrl])
I don't have a solution to this error either. I don't know what to try
next. Any recommendations (besides upgrading to Ubuntu 20)? Thanks. -
Mark
