[Samba] Administrator cannot connect to samba on 2008 R2 ADS members
I have an odd situation where Samba 3.x domain members in an Active Directory 2008 R2 domain cannot authenticate the Administrator. All other users work, but if I try to connect to the samba services as the domain Administrator, authentication fails. The Windows domain controllers are happy to accept connections from the Administrator (e.g. using smbclient) but the Linux (Centos 5.5 and 5.6) domain members are not (I have encountered this problem with both Samba 3.3.8 and 3.5.4). Direct kerberos authentication using the Administrator account works just fine, as does ldap authentication (I am using ldap rather than winbind in nsswitch.conf and I can ssh into the Linux domain members just fine as the Administrator). I can attach detailed logs if wanted, but am not sure which detail is relevant. Here's the smb.conf: #======================= Global Settings ==================================== [global] workgroup = HQ realm = HQ.CORP.COM server string = # ----------------------- Domain Members Options ------------------------ security = ADS passdb backend = tdbsam # ------------------------- Winbind Options ------------------------------ client ldap sasl wrapping = seal idmap backend = tdb idmap uid = 10000-19999 idmap gid = 10000-19999 idmap config HQ : backend = ad idmap config HQ : range = 10000-19999 winbind nss info = rfc2307 -- Bruce Hierophant: someone who remembers, when you are on the way down, everything you did to them on the way up.
