Hi,
It seems that microsoft removed the ability to manage unix attributes
with from the windows 10 version of ADUC (Active Directory Users and
Computers). This means we (and probably more institutes like us) have to
look look for a good alternative.
We used LAM in the past, and I am checking it out now again. We would
like to ask some questions if we may.
We are unsure on which modules to activate in the case of a 'regular'
samba based Windows AD install (with unix attributes stored in AD) (like
this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_RFC2307_in_AD
Some quick remarks / observations:
Nice to see an UID generator type "Windows domain info" that simply
works, makes moving to LAM easier. :-)
LAM does not seem to detect the unix attributes although they are added
by ADUC, and displays the button to "add unix extension" instead. This
is strange, because my users *are* unix users, and fully functional.
We have added the two User modules "Windows windowsUser (*)" and "Unix
(posixAccount), and for groups only the "windows (windowsGroup) (*)". We
are not sure if those are the correct. (for example there is also
windowsPosixGroup) Suggestions..?
In LAM with an enabled unix posixAccount Users module, we are asked to
set a seperate unix password for our users. This is not the case in
ADUC, and we would like to avoid that if possible.
So, in short: anyone here using LAM for a 'average' samba4-based active
directory installation? Tips or suggestions for us?
Best,
MJ
