Ubuntu – Authenticating samba shares with active directory users and groups

10.04active-directorylikewisesamba

I am looking for instruction on how to configure my Ubuntu 10.04 box to allow samba shares access through Active Directory users and groups. I have joined the Ubuntu machine to my AD domain using Likewise-open, however when I enable 'security = ads' in my smb.conf I am getting access denied errors when trying to view shares in windows explorer. Any sugestions?

Try following the official guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-ad-integration.html

I'm guessing you haven't linked the password files, as it says Samba and likewise use separate databases.

Best of luck.

Does

getent passwd

Return anything?

How about

wbinfo -u

I am working on the same thing and for me wbinfo -u worked but getent passwd did not. I was able to get getent passwd to work by adding these packages.

 apt-get install libnss-winbind libpam-winbind

Once getent passwd returned domain users I was able to ssh into the machine with my domain cred.
