Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Central authentication server Post 302906451 by cjcox on Thursday 19th of June 2014 05:47:38 PM

Login once and get to all hosts... sure. Let's say you have a Windows domain, you login to the Windows Domain from your Windows client, it loads your SSH key off a secure area only you have access to and then you can PuTTY into the Linux hosts without typing a password... that's just one solution.

Single source of auth (a step down from SSO above) is possible as well... that is, you have to use your Windows username and password to log into the clients/servers regardless of whether they are Linux or Windows. Samba 3 supports this using winbind, but there are LDAP and AD ways to do this as well. But winbind is your friend IMHO.

Ah... finally with regards to a web interface for manipulating Windows AD... this is harder than it seems. LDAP is easy to manipulate, but passwords (which isn't LDAP) is a bit more difficult. Most people on a Windows network use Exchange for their email, so they just use OWA which allows you to change your password. With that said, I don't use Exchange here... it's an issue on our plate currently.

NAME
wbinfo - Query information from winbind daemon SYNOPSIS
wbinfo [-a user%password] [--all-domains] [--allocate-gid] [--allocate-uid] [-c] [-D domain] [--domain domain] [-g] [--getdcname domain] [--get-auth-user] [-G gid] [-h] [-i user] [-I ip] [-K user%password] [-m] [-n name] [-N netbios-name] [--own-domain] [-p] [-r user] [--remove-uid-mapping uid,sid] [--remove-gid-mapping gid,sid] [-s sid] [--separator] [--sequence] [--set-auth-user user%password] [--set-uid-mapping uid,sid] [--set-gid-mapping gid,sid] [-S sid] [-t] [-u] [--uid-info uid] [--user-domgroups sid] [--user-sids sid] [-U uid] [-V] [-Y sid] [--verbose] DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite. The wbinfo program queries and returns information created and used by the winbindd(8) daemon. The winbindd(8) daemon must be configured and running for the wbinfo program to be able to return information. OPTIONS
-a|--authenticate username%password Attempt to authenticate a user via winbindd(8). This checks both authentication methods and reports its results. Note Do not be tempted to use this functionality for authentication in third-party applications. Instead use ntlm_auth(1). --allocate-gid Get a new GID out of idmap --allocate-uid Get a new UID out of idmap --all-domains List all domains (trusted and own domain). -c|--change-secret Change the trust account password. May be used in conjunction with domain in order to change interdomain trust account passwords. --domain name This parameter sets the domain on which any specified operations will performed. If special domain name '.' is used to represent the current domain to which winbindd(8) belongs. Currently only the --sequence, -u, and -g options honor this parameter. -D|--domain-info domain Show most of the info we have about the specified domain. -g|--domain-groups This option will list all groups available in the Windows NT domain for which the samba(7) daemon is operating in. Groups in all trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign group ids to any groups that have not already been seen by winbindd(8). --get-auth-user Print username and password used by winbindd(8) during session setup to a domain controller. Username and password can be set using --set-auth-user. Only available for root. --getdcname domain Get the DC name for the specified domain. -G|--gid-to-sid gid Try to convert a UNIX group id to a Windows NT SID. If the gid specified does not refer to one within the idmap gid range then the operation will fail. -i|--user-info user Get user info. -I|--WINS-by-ip ip The -I option queries winbindd(8) to send a node status request to get the NetBIOS name associated with the IP address specified by the ip parameter. -K|--krb5auth username%password Attempt to authenticate a user via Kerberos. -m|--trusted-domains Produce a list of domains trusted by the Windows NT server winbindd(8) contacts when resolving names. This list does not include the Windows NT domain the server is a Primary Domain Controller for. -n|--name-to-sid name The -n option queries winbindd(8) for the SID associated with the name specified. Domain names can be specified before the user name by using the winbind separator character. For example CWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator user in the domain CWDOM1. If no domain is specified then the domain used is the one specified in the smb.conf(5) workgroup parameter. -N|--WINS-by-name name The -N option queries winbindd(8) to query the WINS server for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name specified by the name parameter. --own-domain List own domain. -p|--ping Check whether winbindd(8) is still alive. Prints out either 'succeeded' or 'failed'. -r|--user-groups username Try to obtain the list of UNIX group ids to which the user belongs. This only works for users defined on a Domain Controller. -s|--sid-to-name sid Use -s to resolve a SID to a name. This is the inverse of the -n option above. SIDs must be specified as ASCII strings in the traditional Microsoft format. For example, S-1-5-21-1455342024-3071081365-2475485837-500. --separator Get the active winbind separator. --sequence Show sequence numbers of all known domains. --set-auth-user username%password Store username and password used by winbindd(8) during session setup to a domain controller. This enables winbindd to operate in a Windows 2000 domain with Restrict Anonymous turned on (a.k.a. Permissions compatible with Windows 2000 servers only). -S|--sid-to-uid sid Convert a SID to a UNIX user id. If the SID does not correspond to a UNIX user mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail. -t|--check-secret Verify that the workstation trust account created when the Samba server is added to the Windows NT domain is working. May be used in conjunction with domain in order to verify interdomain trust accounts. -u|--domain-users This option will list all users available in the Windows NT domain for which the winbindd(8) daemon is operating in. Users in all trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign user ids to any users that have not already been seen by winbindd(8) . --uid-info uid Get user info for the user connected to user id UID. --user-domgroups sid Get user domain groups. --user-sids sid Get user group SIDs for user. -U|--uid-to-sid uid Try to convert a UNIX user id to a Windows NT SID. If the uid specified does not refer to one within the idmap uid range then the operation will fail. --verbose Print additional information about the query results. -Y|--sid-to-gid sid Convert a SID to a UNIX group id. If the SID does not correspond to a UNIX group mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail. --remove-uid-mapping uid,sid Remove an existing uid to sid mapping entry from the IDmap backend. --remove-gid-mapping gid,sid Remove an existing gid to sid mapping entry from the IDmap backend. --set-uid-mapping uid,sid Create a new or modify an existing uid to sid mapping in the IDmap backend. --set-gid-mapping gid,sid Create a new or modify an existing gid to sid mapping in the IDmap backend. -V|--version Prints the program version number. -h|--help Print a summary of command line options. EXIT STATUS
The wbinfo program returns 0 if the operation succeeded, or 1 if the operation failed. If the winbindd(8) daemon is not working wbinfo will always return failure. VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite. SEE ALSO
winbindd(8) and ntlm_auth(1) AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed. wbinfo and winbindd were written by Tim Potter. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy. Samba 3.5 06/18/2010 WBINFO(1)
