Full Discussion: Samba 3.6 on AIX 7.1 - Windows 10 Access to AIX file shares using Active Directory authentication
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

NAME

       ad - Active Directory as a naming repository

DESCRIPTION

       Solaris clients can obtain naming information from Active Directory (AD) servers.

       The  Solaris  system  must first join an AD domain and then add the ad keyword to the appropriate entries in the nsswitch.conf(4) file. The
       Solaris system joins the AD domain by using the	kclient(1M) utility. The AD name service only supports the naming databases for passwd and
       group.

       Windows	users  are not able to log in. The user_attr(4) database has no entries for Windows users, and the passwd(1) command does not sup-
       port the synchronization of user passwords with AD.

       The Solaris AD client uses auto-discovery techniques to find AD directory servers, such as domain controllers and global  catalog  servers.
       The  client  also  uses	the  LDAP  v3 protocol to access naming information from AD servers. The AD server schema requires no modification
       because the AD client works with native AD schema. The Solaris AD client uses the idmap(1M) service to map between Windows security identi-
       fiers (SIDs) and Solaris user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs). User names and group names are taken from the sAMAccountName
       attribute of the AD user and group objects and then tagged with the domain where the objects reside. The domain name is separated from  the
       user name or group name by the @ character.

       The  client  uses  the  SASL/GSSAPI/KRB5  security  model. The kclient utility is used to join the client to AD. During the join operation,
       kclient configures Kerberos v5 on the client. See kclient(1M).

FILES

       /etc/nsswitch.conf      Configuration file for the name-service switch.

       /etc/nsswitch.ad        Sample configuration file for the name-service switch configured with ad, dns and files.

       /usr/lib/nss_ad.so.1    Name service switch module for AD.
