Operating Systems AIX Samba 3.6 on AIX 7.1 - Windows 10 Access to AIX file shares using Active Directory authentication Post 303040187 by linuxsnake on Thursday 24th of October 2019 03:59:54 PM
Old 10-24-2019
I tried these settings and disabled username map = /home/robot/smbmap in smb.conf but still when I try and access the samba share from Windows it will not allow me access to the directory. Logs look quite clean but no access to any share. It seems to find my windows account in Kerberos, authenticates OK but for some reason doesn't give me access to the share

So I re-enabled the username map and found myself a workaround for the time being.

I am using ldapsearch command to query the Windows Active Directory to extract all users that are a member of a specific Windows AD group and then writing the output after reformatting into /home/robot/smbmap using awk to create the correctly formatted permission file. So it writes in around 50 user accounts who are allowed access into the file. This allows access to the AIX shares fine as all of these users are mapped to the AIX root user account. Ill set it as a cron job to run once a week or month.

But frustrating that I have to do it this way. Ill see if I can post on the IBM forum as well. Thanks

rhosts(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							 rhosts(4)

NAME
rhosts, .rhosts - Specifies remote users that can use a local user account SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.rhosts DESCRIPTION
The .rhosts file contains a list of remote users who are not required to supply a login password when they execute the rcp, rlogin, and rsh commands using a local user account. The .rhosts file is a hidden file in your home directory. It must be owned by you or the root user and it must not be writable by group or world, otherwise, it is not used. Moreover, although it is not required, it is sensible to set the permissions of the file to 600, so the file is not readable by group or world. Each entry in the file is of the following form: host [user] where: The name of the remote host. If the remote host is in a different domain than the local host, the full domain name must be speci- fied. The login name of the remote user. This field is optional. If this field is not specified, any user on the specified remote host is exempt from providing a password, and is assumed to have the same username on both the local and remote hosts. Optionally, an NIS netgroup name can be specified for the host name, user name, or both. Entries in the .rhosts file are either positive or negative. Positive entries allow access; negative entries deny access. The following entries are positive: hostname username +@netgroup In addition, the plus sign (+) can be used in place of the hostname or username. In place of the hostname, it means any remote host. In place of the username, it means any user. The following entries are negative: -hostname -username -@netgroup EXAMPLES
The following sample entries in the /u/chen/.rhosts file on host zeus allow users moshe and pierre at remote host venus and user robert at the hosts specified in the NIS netgroup chicago to log in to user chen's home directory on host zeus: venus moshe venus pierre +@chicago robert FILES
Specifies remote users who can use a local user account. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: rcp(1), rlogin(1), rsh(1). Functions: ruserok(3). Files: hosts.equiv(4), netgroup(4). Functions: rcmd(3). delim off rhosts(4)
