Hi,
Scenario:
I have samba installed on a linux server in a primarily windows environment. We
have AD, but I cannot join my linux server to the domain. I would ike to pass
authentication info over to a windows DC though.
I have a directory that I want to share from the linux server. I want to force
users to authenticate and have the DC authenticate the user/pass. I don't
want
to have an equivalent unix user for each windows user, but I do want to limit by
a list of users or a group.
Once authenticated, all file operations can take place as a normal unix user I
specify.
As a first start I tried this:
[GLOBAL]
security=share
password server = xxxxxxxxxx
ldap ssl = no
[GOUNIX]
path = /var/www/sites/gounix.bpweb.bp.com/files/repository
force user = www-data
force group = www-data
read only = No
valid users = meecect
create mask = 0774
directory mask = 0775
This let me browse the shares, but when I try to connect, a windows
authentication box appears with the username area pre-filled and grayed out so I
can't change the username. The username it had filled in was
SERVERNAME\GUEST_ACCOUNT, where SERVERNAME was the name of the linux box, and
GUEST_ACCOUNT is the name of a guest account I have on my PC.
Any hints?
