[Samba] Shares not accessible when using FQDN

[Gaetan SLONGO]

Thank you for your answer Mathias. 


Unix attributes are OK in the Samba 4 DB ("Unix Attributes" tab also OK in ADUC). What I cannot do is to ask to winbind to use uidNumber and gidNumber on a member server setup (in DC mode it is OK) instead of "mapped ids" (idmap range) 


Regards,

Rowland, 


Yes, I mean uidNumber and gidNumber. 
I'm aware I need to work with AD but at this time I need my unix IDs (on NSS) to keep services working. Not only for files ownership, but also for some other services. Yeah, that's complex... 
If I undestand well, the best way to do is to join the server using "net ads join" and use nss_winbind. This what I do but I only use the NSS LDAP backend instead of NSS (to keep correct ownership). 





The best way to do is to chose correctly UID/GID and how you will manage to have this UIDF/GID and not others UID/GID. 

Two main choices: 
- using uidNumber and gidNumber LDAP attributes in AD LDAP tree 

- using idmap-rid which relies on Microsoft RID to generate UID/GID. 


As you have some historical UID/GID usage, I would chose usage of uidNumber and gidNumber in which you can set any number you want. As you can chose what UID/GID you give to every AD object, you will certainly be able to re-attribute UID/GID which are already in use. 

Plus using uidNumber and gidNumber you give same UID or GID to several different objects. 


To be able to use uidNumber and gidNumber in LDAP tree you have several choices: 

- Winbind 

- sssd 

- nslcd 

- certainly others but these 3 should be sufficient for you have what you want. 


Usage of nss_ldap and pam_ldap in old fashion don't use Kerberos... 


Winbind is certainly the simpler way to proceed... if you can modify AD schema (if not already done) to have access to "UNIX attributes" tab in ADUC (when accessing to user properties). 



If no modification of the schema is possible and you have Samba 4 DC you can avoid modifying the schema adding "idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes" in smb.conf on your Samba DC. Please note that without modifying the schema ADUC tool won't work when accessing to "UNIX attributes" tab in user properties. 

If no modification of the schema is possible and you have only Microsoft DC you will have to use SSSD.

This will be cleaned in the future (within next migration steps) but for now I think I have no other choice beacause it seems I cannot obtain unix IDs through Winbind on a domain member (or maybe I missed the solution??).

Well 'nss_ldap' is not supported by Samba and normally anything that it 
can do, can also be done by winbind. What I am wondering about is what 
you are calling 'unix ids', where are these coming from ? are they 
from 'uidNumber' & 'gidNumber' attributes stored in AD or 
from /etc/passwd & /etc/group ? 
If the later, are you aware that you cannot have a user with the same 
name in AD and /etc/passwd. 

I think you may be trying to 'bend' AD to fit in with the old way 
Samba worked as a PDC or standalone, this is doomed to ultimate 
failure in my opinion. You need to work with AD, this will make things 
easier in the long run.

You should be able do this using winbind.

Yes, but will it be reliable in the long run ?
