joining a linux workstation to windows domain ADDS authentication

sukalyan_g · 03-25-2008, 04:31 AM

Hi everybody,

I have edited /etc/krb5.conf for joining my linux machine in windows domain (windows Server 2003 ADDS). After that, while trying to log in it is showing a dropdown for domain but not showing the domain name in it. Only showing <local> there. I can only login to the local machine. I cannot login to domain from this machine.

What are the other settings required? Any help?

As far my workings with both ubuntu 7.04 and opensuse 10.3 regarding joining AD; I found that its much more simpler in opensuse to join in AD domain using YAST. Everything is there in GUI whereas in ubuntu its lacking or atleast I didn't find.

In opensuse just configure kerberos and then samba. After configuring samba when you press finish it will ask you for password which is AD administrator password for joining in AD. If it doesn't then check also the files nsswitch.conf,krb5.conf,smb.conf and post here so that we can help you further.
