Debian Xfce with active directory using sssd

aldemir · 02-15-2019, 02:32 PM

Dear,
I configured the debian server to authenticate with the active directory MS, using sssd, samba and kerberos. Worked perfectly. However, after installing xfce desktop, I can not get ad users.

Has anyone ever had this problem?

Exactly how are you trying to add these AD users?

If you have it set up right, they should be able to ad themselves by logging on.

Hello wpeckham,
Well, following the tutotial of that link https://wiki.debian.org/Authenticati...eDirectorySssd, I was able to get list of ad users and can log in to terminal and ssh. However, when I install the "task-xfce-desktop" package, then the access to the users of the ad is unavailable, being only available the access of the users who logged in before installing xfce, since they are cached

I see nothing wrong with that tutorial. I have set up several servers (mostly RHEL and CentOS), but I do not recall seting up a workstation quite that way. None of my servers ever ran or loaded Xorg or gui software: gui is more a feature of workstations. There may be an incompatibility that I have never run into.

Which brings the question: Why do you want to install xfce AFter joining AD?
I wish I could be more help, I will lurk and see if someone else knows what might be wrong here.
