[SOLVED] uid's not consistent over servers

grahamb314 · 06-28-2013, 09:37 AM

I'm using samba4 winbind to setup central authentication from my active directory domain.
this works on all servers, but the uid's are slightly different on for each user on different servers. I need each user to have the same uid on every server for specific uses.

I've followed this: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WinbindADS
(Specifically the last section, but it doesn't change anything)

my /etc/samba/smb.conf file before all the changes:

Code:

workgroup = DOMAIN
password server = dc01.domain.local
realm = DOMAIN.LOCAL
security = ads
idmap config * : range = 16777216-33554431
template homedir = /home/%U
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind use default domain = true
winbind offline logon = yes

I hear that I should share the IDMAP file, but don't know how I go about doing this

Consistent ID mapping across multiple servers requires a common backend. The article you link to covers that topic here. You may want to look at the ID mapping section of the official Samba documentation.

Thanks,

I solved this by adding these 2 lines into my sbm.conf file

Code:

idmap config * :backend      =rid
idmap config * :base_rid     = 0

then flushing the cache:

Code:

net cache flush

and restarting smb and winbind services
