Hi,
I finally was able to to get samba/winbind to
authenticate off W2k3 Active Directory. I seen a lot
of info on the web on how to do this but I never seem
to have one site that got me through it all. Anyway,
with all the info I gathered I was able to put it all
together, get it working and documented all the steps
I used. I'm running Redhat 4 (2.6.9-55.0.2) with
compiled Samba 3.0.25c (you'll need Samba 3.0.24
though because of a *bug* in 3.0.25c net binary? -
more info below). Hope this helps anyone trying to do
Samba/AD integration.
Compile/Install Samba 3.0.25c
• ./configure --with-winbind --with-ldap --with-ads
--with-krb5
• make
• make install
• Samba will be installed in /usr/local/samba
Edit krb5.conf
• vi /etc/krb5.conf
[logging]
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log
[libdefaults]
ticket_lifetime = 24000
default_realm = MY.DOMAIN.COM
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = false
[realms]
MY.DOMAIN.COM = {
# I used the Windows DC IP address instead of the
FQDN for the kdc
kdc = 10.2.30.63
default_domain = my.domain.com
}
[domain_realm]
.my.domain.com = MY.DOMAIN.COM
my.domain.com = MY.DOMAIN.COM
[kdc]
profile = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf
[appdefaults]
pam = {
debug = false
ticket_lifetime = 36000
renew_lifetime = 36000
forwardable = true
krb4_convert = false
}
Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
• vi /etc/nsswitch.conf (only need add winbind to
passwd and group – everything else stays the same)
passwd: files winbind
shadow: files
group: files winbind
Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
• vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
security = ADS
workgroup = MY
netbios name = sambatest
realm = MY.DOMAIN.COM
#I used the Windows DC IP address instead of the FQDN
for the "password server".
password server = 10.2.30.63
encrypt passwords = yes
client use spnego = no
server signing = auto
log file = /var/log/samba/%m
# enum users/group is needed for getent passwd|groups
to work but otherwise samba still works fine without
this option
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind separator = .
winbind use default domain = no
idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
# Shares
[smbtest]
comment = test share
path = /smbtest
valid users = MY.user1 MY.user2
browseable = no
printable = no
writable = yes
Link smb.conf
Note: By default – Samba will look in
/usr/local/samba/lib for smb.conf but I kept my
smb.conf in /etc/samba/smb.conf so I just softlinked
to it.
• ln –s /etc/samba/smb.conf
/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Net binary
Note: the net binary supplied with Samba 3.0.25c is
buggy and does not work when trying to joint a domain.
What I did was copy the net binary from a 3.0.24
install to the 3.0.25c server
(/usr/local/etc/samba/bin) and it worked like a charm.
• mv /usr/local/samba/bin/net
/usr/local/esamba/bin/net.BAK
• cp /usr/local/samba/bin/net (from 3.0.24 install)
/usr/local/samba/bin/net
Update libnss_winbind.so lib
• unlink /lib/libnss_winbind.so
• mv /lib/libniss_winbind.so.2
/lib/libniss_winbind.so.2.BAK
• cp /BUILDSOURCE/source/nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so
/lib/libniss_winbind.so.2 (yes, I changed the file
name to libniss_winbind.so.2)
• ln –s /lib/libniss_winbind.so.2
/lib/libniss_winbind.so
Get Kerberos ticket
• kinit administrator at MY.DOMAIN.COM
• kinit (this will show you cached tickets on the
system)
Join Samba server to the Windows Domain
• /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads join –U
administrator
• You should see the following:
[root at sambatest2 bin]# /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads
join -U administrator
Administrator’s password:
Using short domain name -- MY
Joined 'SAMBATEST2' to realm 'MY.DOMAIN.COM'
Check for domain accounts/groups
• /usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo –u (this should
return MY.user1, MY.user2, MY.user3
etc..)
• /usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo –g (this should
return MY.group1, MY.group2, MY.group3
etc..)
• getent passwd (this should return accounts from
the local server and domain depending if you used the
“winbind enum users/group in the smb.conf)
• getent groups (this should return groups from the
local server and domain depending if you used the
“winbind enum users/group in the smb.conf)
Fire up Samba and Winbind
• ./smb start
• test your share by accessing it from a windows
computer (\\sambaServer\shareName)
