[Samba] net ads join fails

[Penny Willisson]

I have recreated my dns pointers without success and I think my krb5.conf file is configured correctly.  First I left this to Yast to set up but that didn't work and then I tried to modify it from a article I found.
 
I have pasted it in below
[libdefaults]

#default_realm = ellisonslegal.com

clockskew = 300

[realms]

ELLISONSLEGAL.COM = {

kdc = apps.ellisonslegal.com

#default_domain = ELLNET

#kpasswd_server = apps.ellisonslegal.com

}

#ELLISONSLEGAL.COM = {

# kdc = APPS.ELLISONSLEGAL.COM

# admin_server = APPS.ELLISONSLEGAL.COM

# kpasswd_server = APPS.ELLISONSLEGAL.COM

#}

#OTHER.REALM = {

# kdc = OTHER.COMPUTER

#}

[domain_realm]

# .my.domain = MY.REALM

.ellisonslegal.com = ELLISONSLEGAL.COM

[logging]

default = SYSLOG:NOTICE:DAEMON

kdc = FILE:/var/log/kdc.log

kadmind = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

[appdefaults]

pam = {

ticket_lifetime = 1d

renew_lifetime = 1d

forwardable = true

proxiable = false

retain_after_close = false

minimum_uid = 0

debug = false

}

 
Dimitri would you be able to repost that link for the HOW-TO please?  I tried it but it seems like it is broken, do you have the updated link?
 
Thanks for your continued help.
 
Penny

You might need to add some entries to your krb5.conf file.  for example:

[realms]
ellisonslegal.com = {
  kdc = domain.controller.ellisonslegal.com:88
}


Where kdc points to a domain controller.  Doesn't need to be the primary domain controller, choose one close by for best performance.   (You shouldn't need to do this if your DNS for the domain resolves to a domain controller.)

Try the command "kinit Administrator" (or  Administrator at yourdomain.com").  You 

should be prompted for a password.  If, after entering the password, you're 

returned to a prompt with no further output then, in theory at least, your 

Kerberos setup is OK. If you get errors, well ...  Run that first, then try 

"net ads join -U  Administrator at yourdomain.com.



A good how-to can be found at:  http://www.ulug.org.nz/ActiveDirectorySamba.



HTH.
