Access shares that are on an Active Directory domain?
 

And do somebody know a very good and safe documentation to make a Linux station able to access shares that are on an Active Directory domain?

Have you looked at the samba website? It is very well documented.

you can use "mount -t cifs" for that and (hopefully installed) use fitting auth and options for the smb/cifs-connection, also just write it to fstab to get it connected all the time:

//192.168.123.123/pornshare /var/porn cifs username=stephane,passwd=iW84xxx,domain=accounting.mycompany.com 0 0

Hi;

I just wanted you to know that I was having problems trying to mount a share from one Ubuntu PC to another (both were Active Directory domain members), while I was able to mount the same share using my Windows 7 PC (also an AD domain member)...

I was trying to use the fstab file as I had before, but I kept getting "Error 13: Permission denied" whenever I tried "sudo mount -a" to mount the fstab shares.

Your post gave me the answer! For a Windows share, you don't need the "domain=" portion, but for a Linux-based share, I guess you do, because when I added the line:

domain=[MyDomainName]

to my credentials file, the share mounted without issue! Previously, my credentials file had only contained the standard "username" and "password" lines:

username=[my-username]
password=[my-password]

So, your posting saved me from pulling my hair out...thanks!

ZTagr.

It doesn't work with the mount command, but works graphically with PCManFM... It was the same thing at my old job...
