Using Windows AD groups
Hello all.
Firstly, apologies for the vague topic/subject! The scenario is I have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller which runs ADUC. I have created some security groups which I would like to apply to my network shares. The problem is, the majority of my network shares are based on Open Suse machines which, although are part of the domain, when trying to configure the shares using SMB, do not allow me to select the Active Directory groups. Please does anyone have a solution which will allow me to use ADUC security groups? |
You probably want to post one of your smb.conf files. Also, do the SuSE machines use AD for authentication (e.g. to log in)? I would recommend getting the latest Using Samba book. You should be able to use a windows tool to manage the shares, much as you would to manage windows shares. The book recommends which program works best for this.

I'm away from my PC now so I will post the SMB.CONF to the forum later on. In the meantime, yes, the server authenticates against the Domain Controller. I use Windows Active Directory Users and Computers to manage the groups and have the 2003 Admin kit installed on a Windows XP machine for remote-administration. I'll re-post later with an example SMB.CONF, thanks! |
