[Samba] All-Linux LAN solution with windows compatibility
This is a school project, but you might find it interresting anyways ;-) We have one server running Debian and a client also running Debian. On top of this we have ~5 mixed clients (windows and linux). This LAN will be merged with other LAN's later on (all of them running Windows 2000 Active Directory) The original plan was to use kerberos for one-login auth, OpenLDAP as directory server, and OpenAFS for file sharing. We have already fixed an IMAP mail server, that authenticates to our MIT KerberosV KDC. All went fine up until the OpenAFS installation (kerberos was surprisingly easy to pull off, heard it was a PITA), and it seems impossible to install the Debian packages or to make from source, so we're looking towards Samba (this will probably simplify our merger with the windows groups later on, which is an additional plus). Now to the question(s): How do we make samba authenticate to our (custom) kerberos server? (My thought was that the kerberos and LDAP could emulate an AD domain, but perhaps that is impossible?) Should we run samba as a PDC instead? ( :-( and we spent so much time installing kerberos) If we need to run Samba as a PDC (Samba3 can be an AD PDC, can't it?), what will happen to our IMAP server that authenticates to the currently running kerberos KDC? What would we need to change to make it authenticate against Samba's AD kerberos? Criteria: - We want to enforce kerberos authentication for all clients. - Windows compatability is very nice, since this LAN will be merged with a windows LAN later on - IMAP authentication through kerberos I (and we) would be very grateful for any help with this We thank you, Revered Gurus of Samba ;-) // Simon Brenner
