Complete new user here. Setting up my first samba configuration, using samba 4.0.6 as a primary domain controller. I have user profiles, network shares, active directory, and domain controller working. But I can not understand how to map windows userid to linux userid (and map groupid as well). I am struggling because much of the documentation is outdated and meant for samba 3.x or targetted for samba as a domain member. I followed some documentation to try the userid mapping through active directory, but that required Microsoft services for Unix 3.5, which will not install on 64 versions of MS. I find myself without any orientation of how to proceed.
I am suffering from documentation overload, much of it contradictory or not applicable. I am not even sure how to use winbind, or if that is required for my situation. I really need a simple step by step howto that is specific to samba 4 as a PDC. If you want to reference documentation, great, but please reference specific sections instead of whole general chapters. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
