You should be able to access the shares with the default Samba config. I used to use my laptop with Hoary at work, and it was fine. Go to Places->Connect to Server and choose Windows Share and you'll need to save your user name and password and stuff.
This howto is great, I tried this like a year ago unsuccessfully. I wasn't using Winbind, however, so maybe that will make the difference. I can't wait till I get a chance to test some new machines on the network. Thanks a lot.
Re: HOWTO: Active Directory Authentication
HI Sir!
I apologize for being so ignorant but here is my situation. I was just promoted to System Admin from a Technical Support agent (due to the lack of IT personel left). And one of the task delegated to me is setup a centralized username/password authentication for all our workstations. our network is currently composed of around 20 Windows XP and 10 Ubuntu Linux (breezy).
I imagine that i should use Microsoft's Active Directory for the windows xp workstations. However i am not too sure if i am to use your HOWTO so that my Ubuntu Linux workstations will authenticate using Active Directory. Can I use your Howto so that all of our windows xp and ubuntu linux workstations to authenticate with a single active directory server?
Please help or atleast point to some reference I can use.
Thanks.
Re: HOWTO: Active Directory Authentication
I have already set up my Linux boxes manually to join the domain, but I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this tool: http://sadms.sf.net ? It looks like the perfect tool to do all this with a gui instead of manually, and they have a Ubuntu package :D
Re: HOWTO: Active Directory Authentication
great tutorial! i have now joined my ubuntu server into my domain. i do have a question.
how do i setup multiple groups in a folder in linux?
i want groups that can read/write and groups that can only read.
so far i have setup a group in active directory and made to be able to read and write to the samba share, but i do not know of anyway to make another one that can only read.
Re: HOWTO: Active Directory Authentication
Replying to my own question.
ACL was the answer!
Re: HOWTO: Active Directory Authentication
If you're using ACLs, check out this, love the intergration with nautilus: http://rofi.pinchito.com/eiciel/
sudo apt-get install eiciel

Re: HOWTO: Active Directory Authentication

Re: HOWTO: Active Directory Authentication
Greetings,
I followed the howto step by step but I'm getting "kinit(v5): Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm while getting initial credentials" when I run "kinit Administrator@home.brr". However, I can nslookup the computer I specified on "[realms] kdc" (it's both the AD PDC and DNS server). What can I be doing wrong? :confused:
Thanks in advance :)

In your case DOMAIN is uinimaas and DOMAIN.INTERNAL is uinimaas.nl
