Security Groups in Samba4

[Rohit Rajan]

What I have done is created a group "test" in samba4 using "Active Directory users and computers" then created the similar group "test" in linux using the groupadd command, since there is no swat to link the samba4 group to unix group I logged on to phpldapadmin and added the attribute "posixgroup" in the Objectclass of the "test" group.

Then I assigned the "test" group to a folder and changed the permissions for user and group to rwx, now this folder is accessible to everyone.

I went back to phpldapadmin and removed the attribute "posixgroup" also removed the 2 users I added earlier to this group.

And even now the directory is accessible to every one.

Thanks

Rohit

Hello,
Its quite possible to have a bug in the permissions checks. Also, permissions checks on searches are not completely ready yet, so can you please give us more details on how permissions are not working - steps to reproduce, etc.

Regards,
Nadya
