Hello, Summary: a Linux server joined to domain GODMZ (which trusts another domain GOCORP), without network access to GOCORP domain controllers can authenticate but not retrieve user information (id) even though wbinfo -n can resolve a name to SID. Long: We have two domains, both at server 2003 functional level. GOCORP contains users and intranet servers. GODMZ contains servers in the DMZ (web servers, etc). There is a one-way external trust -- GODMZ trusts GOCORP. GODMZ domain controllers can talk to GOCORP domain controllers, but member servers in the dmz cannot talk to GOCORP domain controllers. This mostly works for Windows servers in the DMZ to authorize GOCORPS users who are in GODMZ groups for resources in GODMZ (using magic MSRPC tunnels of some sort). I'm trying to get similar functionality for our Linux (RHEL 6.2) servers in the DMZ. When I connect the Linux server to a network that has access to domain controllers in both GODMZ and GOCORP, I can authenticate and get user info. When I connect the Linux server to a network that has access to domain controllers in GODMZ, but not GOCORP, I can authenticate (using ntlm_auth), but cannot get user info (id GOCORP\\me). Interestingly, wbinfo -n GOCORP\\me works. I realize this is a pretty odd setup, but any way to make this work?
