FW: [Samba] Problem with Active Directory authentication

Thu Jun 9 15:19:39 UTC 2016

A thought came to me:

The smb.conf file on the system has the following entry:

template shell =  /bin/bash

Would creating a symbolic link with the name PHSshell pointing to the /bin/bash shell solve the problem?

Hello --

The output of the getent passwd command was the following:

<username>@<domainname>:*:##########:##########::/PHShome/<username>:/bin/PHSshell

What does "getent passwd <username>@<domainname>"  return on the server for the login shell.  By default a samba AD DC sets the login shell for all Active Directory user accounts to /bin/false.  The only way I've found to change this, is to override that globally with the "template shell = /bin/bash" option in smb.conf, which enables it globally for all Active Directory users (probably not desired).

We are running the 14.04.3 LTS 64-bit release as a virtual machine on a Vmware appliance. The goal of the installation is to create a Samba server that utilizes Active Directory authentication. To that end I utilized the following procedure:

http://www.kiloroot.com/add-ubuntu-1...n-credentials/<http://www.kiloroot.com/add-ubuntu-14-04-server-or-desktop-to-microsoft-active-directory-domain-login-to-unity-with-domain-credentials/>

Afterwards, I referenced the following documentation to confirm that all configuration files had the appropriate entries:

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/sssd-ad.html

The problem is the following: I am unable to log into the server from the console or via SSH using my Active Directory user account. The syntax that I use when doing an SSH connection is the following:

ssh -v -l <username>@<domainname> <fully qualified domain name>

The output that was generated is the following:

Does anyone have thoughts on this?
