Using authconfig to fully integrate with Active Directory

Predatorian · 05-20-2013, 01:24 PM

Is there a way to use authconfig to fully integrate with Active Directory? I have a command with the options to bounch already existing user accounts on the box against the Active Directory, but not use what is already on active directory without adding each user on the box itself.

Is there a way to do that, without going through and editing all the config files for Samba, Krb5, and Winbind?

This is the quickest way I have seen: https://www.dalemacartney.com/2012/0...ive-directory/

I have not tested it.

I personally have always like doing it the long way.

A mate sent me this a while back: Again I have not tested it:

Code:

yum install samba-common samba-winbind

Code:

cat /etc/hosts
x.x.x.x     server    server.domain

Code:

authconfig 
--update 
--kickstart 
--enablewinbind 
--enablewinbindauth 
--smbsecurity=ads 
--smbworkgroup=NETBIOS_DOMAIN
--smbrealm=DOMAIN.COM
--smbservers=$ADServer 
--winbindjoin=$AdminUser 
--winbindtemplatehomedir=/home/%U 
--winbindtemplateshell=/bin/bash 
--enablewinbindusedefaultdomain 
--enablelocauthorize

let me know if works.

I will try it when I get back into the office. I can attempt to write a chef recipe to help automate some of the long way tasks. I can't personally afford to go the long way because of time, and the sheer amount of systems I am going to be putting this on.

This tutorial is exactly what I am looking for. Instaead of editing a bunch of files and stuff by hand, this seems much easier.
