Hello, I want to set up a Samba 4 AD server that authenticates username/password against Windows 2008 R2 Server. The users of the Samba domain will be logging to machines in Samba domain but their credentials would be passed to the Windows AD server for authentication (in a similar fashion as Samba file server authenticates against Windows AD server).
In other words, I want Samba AD server to be AD server for computer accounts but act as a "pass-through" authentication server for users logins. As for users permissions etc it is irrelevant where those reside. I.e., I would not mind having one (Windows only) or two (Samba and Windows servers) sets of users accounts; as long as the user authentication is done by the Windows server, my requirements are met. The above would be the primary preference; if that is not possible, alternative solution would be syncing usernames/passwords between Samba and Windows servers and Samba domain users authenticating against Samba server. Hope the question is clear enough. Thanks in advance. Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
