Hello all.
I’m after a bit of advice on samba shares in an MS domain.
We’ve got a Ubuntu LTS 10.04 server integrated into a windows domain with
likewise-open5
I've not used likewise, so the below might be incorrect, but...
I’m struggling to successfully share a dir with samba and AD auth
though.
The likewise bit works well, I can log into the ubuntu box with
domain\username and password
I see the machine name in "network" in Win7 but when I double click on it I
repeatedly get prompted to log in.
You probably need to configure Samba separately to perform user
authentication against AD.
You should be able to set "security=ads" in /etc/samba/samba.conf (or
wherever it lives on Ubuntu). There might be a bit more config that's
required depending on your environment (like if the machine is joined
to the domain with "net ads join", etc.) but that should at least give
you a bit of a starting point to google/check the docs.
This isn't something I've done for many, many years and I'm rather
rusty so apologies for not providing more detailed info.
Cheers,
Jon
