[Samba] Accessing Samba domain member shares from trusted domain

Hi Ralph

When you said I can't use idmap_ad in my trusting domain because 'we're not allowed to talk to a DC in the trusted domain', does that still apply even if we can provide a read-only DC from the trusted domain inside the trusting domain network?



Thanks,

Rob

this is as expected. We're not allowed to talk to a DC in the trusted domain to query a user list. That can't be done via a trust route.

you can't use idmap_ad for a trusted domain with outbound trust, as we can't connect to a DC in that domain via LDAP. You have to use a different idmap backend. You could also use idmap_rfc2307 to point at an LDAP server that does allow connections and also stores the mappings.
