At my company, all our user authenticate to Active Directory database (Windows 2003).
I'm interested in rebuilding some old servers with Ubuntu running some Samba shares; however, I'm not sure which is the best way to have our users authenticated to the proper shares.
I don't want them to be prompted for credentials, if they have already logged into the domain from their workstations.
I know I will need Samba and Winbind, but I'm not sure how to set them up.
The best I can do is
sudo apt-get install samba
sudo apt-get install winbind
I have credentials that can poll and add a computer to Active Directory, and I know what servers are running LDAP. I just need to know where to put that information.
Then, can I add an Active Directory Group read/write permissions to certain Samba shares.
