I am looking for some info on an issue I have authenticating Samba 3.0(Centos 5) to a W2k3 AD. Server info: Samba server: HP DL 365, Centos 5 linux: samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 samba-common-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 pam_krb5-2.2.11-1 krb5-workstation-1.6.1-25.el5_2.1 krb5-libs-1.6.1-25.el5_2.1 pam_krb5-2.2.11-1 krb5-libs-1.6.1-25.el5_2.1 KRB libs were installed and then updated via YUM. Windows server: Same hardware, Win2k3 R2 Ent. I have followed the instructions that I found on samba.org and seem to have the krb stuff working and I am pretty sure the first time that I tried joining the domain I got no error, but it did not seem to complete.....And when I try to join the domain again I get the following error: [root@XXX ~]# net ads join -U Administrator Administrator's password: [2008/10/21 18:38:52, 0] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_spnego_bind(330) kinit succeeded but ads_sasl_spnego_krb5_bind failed: Invalid credentials Failed to join domain: Invalid credentials Although I have confirmed the creditials repeatedly...and KRB seems to be working: [root@XXX ~]# kinit Administrator@JPRINC.NET Password for Administrator@JPRINC.NET: [root@XXX ~]# krb5.conf: [logging] default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log [libdefaults] default_realm =JPRINC.NET [realms] JPRINC.NET = { kdc = ad1.jprinc.net } [domain_realm] .kerberos.server = JPRINC.NET [kdc] profile = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf [appdefaults] pam = { debug = false ticket_lifetime = 36000 renew_lifetime = 36000 forwardable = true krb4_convert = false } And smb.conf: # # smb.conf - configuration to allow for all MPR file sharing requirements # [global] large readwrite = no workgroup = JPRINC.NET realm = JPRINC.NET netbios name = AD1 preferred master = no server string = %h Linux File Server (Samba) log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m log level = 5 max log size = 1000 security = ADS password server = ad1.jprinc.net encrypt passwords = yes winbind separator = - printcap name = cups printing = cups idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 [public] comment = Marketplace Rewards Public Share writable = yes path = /fileshare/public public = yes guest account = nobody map to guest = bad user only guest = yes browsable = yes [homes] comment = User Home Directories valid users = %S browseable = No read only = No writable = Yes I seem to have some sort of connectivity to the domain because the info below is correct: [root@XXX ~]# net ads info LDAP server: A.B.C.D LDAP server name: ad1.jprinc.net Realm: JPRINC.NET Bind Path: dc=JPRINC,dc=NET LDAP port: 389 Server time: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:39:58 UTC KDC server: A.B.C.D Server time offset: -108 -- Matthew Arguin Production Support Jackpotrewards, Inc. 275 Grove St Newton, MA 02466 617-795-2850 x 2325 www.jackpotrewards.com
