You can however add an AD user to a local group just like you would
for a local user.

This is true with normal LDAP accounts as well.


I've spent a fair chunk of the day looking for a solution, and have only found people w/ similar problems.

I have NO ability to control/manipulate the Active Directory(AD) server - different group manages that resource.

I have a samba server as an AD. Currently the AD users can access the Samba shares. I have added some AD users to the local UNIX groups on the server but that does not not seem to be working - while (UNIX) group membership should permit access to the resource, the users are being denied access by Samba - according to the logs. I have used the "net groupmap add" to map the local UNIX group to a windows group in Samba. Shouldn't this work?

How do I convince samba to check and see if an AD account is a member of a local UNIX group?

On my older systems that are still using samba as a PDC this works fine - but I need to move the servers to AD for authentication.

What (obvious) step have I missed?

Samba version 3.0.28a on Solaris

Thanks in advance.
