[Samba] Access Samba machine from Windows without an account on Samba
Hi, Samba/ Active Directory list. Kindly teach me, How can I access Linux (Samba machine) using from any user registerd under Active Directory Domain controller (Windows 2003). In more detail, I have create a network where Active Directory is running on Windows-2003, windows-xp and Linux machine with Samba server, All these machine are registerd under Avtive directory. Suppose I three User let say alpha, beta and gama in my active diretory domain, then I can logged in to the network from windows-xp machine using alpha, beta and gama user id. I can also logged in the domain using alph,beta gama, but every time I need to create same user alpha, beta, gama on my linux machine(Samba server is aslo running here), I would like to know is there any way by which I can join the domain without creating the user account of alpha, beta gama on linux machine. In the same order I can access the linux (Samba server) machine from windows PC using only alpha, beta, gama account (because these user accounta are available in linux) only, Suppose If i add one more account let say "Tokyo" in side my active directory then using the tokyo as a user id I can not access Linux (Samba) machine because "Tokyo" user is not available, Kindly let me know if there is any way or mapping technique is available inside Samba or Active Directory.
