similar to: Samba4 provision, change private dir?

I'm working on building some perl code to query a Samba AD and list various things. I'm wondering if there is something like samba-tool for query user from the AD other than just the username? I see that I can use and LDAP perl module to query the LDAP side of the AD, but wanted to see if Samba has a utility for doing this. Thanks! -- Greg J. Zartman Board Member Koozali Foundation,

Does anyone know what Red Hat/Centos is going with Samba 4? I've looked at their packages in COS 6.5 and 7 and it doesn't make sense. They seems to be doing some kind of watered down or modified version of Samba 4 with some of the tools disabled. Are they still holding off from full AD implementation in their packages because of the MIT Kerberos issues identified in previous

People seriously use this in a production environment? The lack of documentation and confusion surrounding pretty basic posix auth is extremely surprising. I'm no noob at *nix admin and

I'm playing around with Domain Membership to a WIndows 2012 AD Server. It appears I'm able to join the AD domain, but the domain member doesn't seem to authenticate anything against the DC once joined. Here is my smb.conf netbios name = Member workgroup = ZARTMAN security = ADS realm = ZARTMAN.LOCAL dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab kerberos method = secrets and

I'm working to setup Samba as a domain member to a Windows Server active directory, and I keep hitting road blocks. There's some real terminology hurdles in the wiki. In a nutshell, my problem is this: I setup a Windows 2012 Essentials ADS domain and I ended up with zartman.local for my "domain" in Windows. So, I've got a dns zone in windows server that is domain.local

I'm working with the Centos 7 packages for Samba 4.2.10 and I note that the stock packages don't include the ldb tools (eg, ldbmodify, ldbsearch, etc). I did find a stand along centos package that contains these tools from here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LDB However, the stand along tools don't seem to be aware of the Active Directory schema. For example, if I try to use

I am working to deploy Samba4 on the SME Server: A customized version of Centos with a web management GUI and configuration API. One of the challenges we see is how we synchronize our SME Server configuration API with users who are created using tools outside of *nix. For example if a user were created using the windows administration tools. Are there any triggers in Samba that could be set to

I'm installing sernet samba4 packages with active directory support on RHEL 6. Is it required that I install kerebros packages seperately? Kerebros does t seem to be an Install require . I wasn't sure if sernet had somehow rolled sernet with kerebros??.?. Any help greatly appreciated. Greg

Is it possible to change the DNS listening IP? I'd like to run a dnscache service for primary LAN queries, but the only way to do this with Samba seems to be iptables preroute configuration to redirect port 53 requests. Thanks, -- Greg J.

Looking at the ldif, I think we could rework this so that one could modify the LDAP schema directly using LDAP syntax. In my case, I'm using Net::LDAP. Something more like this: dn:

I'm wanting to change group members by writing to the Active Directory using perl Net::LDAP. I noticed that AD groups have the LDAP objects "member" to list the user who is a member of this group. The user object then has the LDAP object "memberOf" to record the groups the user is a member of. I'm wondering if their is a mechanism in Samba AD that sets on of these if

What is the best way to store file system quotas for users in the Active Directory? I'm not seeing any standard attributes for this, so it looks like the best way is to extend the schema. Is this correct? Thanks, Greg -- Greg J. Zartman Board Member Koozali SME Server www.koozali.org SME Server user, contributor, and community member since 2000

I'm workign to setup Samba4 and my current centos server deployment uses TinyDNS/DNSCache for the DNS. Understanding that it is best to use Sambas internal DNS for AD, I'm wondering how others are doing DNS? I really don't want to use BIND. Should my DHCP server send ddns updates to Samba's internal DNS for client leases? Thanks, -- Greg J. Zartman Board Member Koozali

I'm going to rephrase my question Are any of you using any time of single signon technology to interact with active directory in a development project? I'd like to be able to grab the authentication with a user first authenticates as a domain admin via, say Apache, and then re-use this auth to give this admin a list of domian user.

It is very difficult to know what all of these pieces in Samba 4 are doing. I know as a developer, this is the last thing you guys want to
