samba - Dec 2008 - Samba share to use AD for authentication

Hello,

I setup a Linux box to join an AD domain, which it did, and set up a share
on the Linux box, but I am not sure how to have the samba share authenticate
users via the AD.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to do this?

Thank you,

James

James,

You need to use Winbind to enable Samba authenticate users via AD.

Please see the following link for more info:

Also, you need to add AD info in smb.conf
workgroup = <DOMAIN_NAME>
realm = <AD_REALM>
security = ADS
auth methods = winbind
password server = <AD_Server_IP>

HTH,
